Two Mechanical posts are reserved for persons with disabilities (one Category I, one Category II). Four of the eight are backlog vacancies.

Unfilled women's vacancies go to men of the same category, and there is no exchange between SC and ST. The number of posts may change without notice.

AEE (Civil)Degree in Civil Engineering from a Government-recognised university or institution, or Associate Membership of the Institution of Engineers (India) in Civil; and a valid GATE score in Civil Engineering
AEE (Mechanical)Degree in Mechanical Engineering or AMIE in Mechanical; and a valid GATE score in Mechanical Engineering

The qualification must be held on the date of application. The GATE rules decide eligibility as much as the degree does:

  • A GATE score is valid for three years, so only GATE 2024, 2025 and 2026 score cards are accepted.
  • The score is valid only if the candidate's GATE marks are at or above the qualifying mark for their category printed on the score card. The advertisement's own example: an SEBC candidate with 32.5 marks against an OBC-NCL qualifying mark of 33.3 is not eligible, score card or not.
  • Only the QR-coded GATE score card is accepted; a GATE mark sheet is not.
  • A candidate with score cards from more than one year uploads one, and is considered only on that one.
  • An affidavit in the format at Annexure-I, affirming the score card is genuine, must be submitted. Forgery is treated as a criminal offence and leads to debarment.
  • OPSC may ask candidates to log in to the GATE portal during verification, so keep the GATE enrolment ID, email and password.
  • Pay: Level-12, Cell-1 of the pay matrix under ORSP Rules, 2017, with dearness allowance and other allowances as sanctioned by the Government of Odisha.
  • Probation: two years from the date of joining.
  • Pension: appointees are covered by the contributory pension scheme (NPS) under the Odisha Civil Services (Pension) Amendment Rules, 2005; submitting the NPS application at joining is mandatory.
  • Selected candidates are examined by a Medical Board before appointment.

Eligibility Criteria

Age Limit

  • Between 21 and 42 years on 1 January 2026: born not earlier than 2 January 1984 and not later than 1 January 2005. The date of birth in the HSC (10th) certificate is the only one accepted.
  • Upper-age relaxation: 5 years for SC, ST, SEBC, women and ex-servicemen; 10 years for persons with 40% or more permanent disability; PwD candidates of SC, ST or SEBC get a cumulative 15 years.
  • Junior Engineers of the Diploma Engineers' Service who acquired the degree later may apply up to 45 years, with not more than five chances.
  • A candidate in more than one category gets only one relaxation, except the PwD addition above.

Application Fee

CategoryFee

  1. Shortlist for interview. After verification, about two times the advertised vacancies in each category (minimum five) are shortlisted on GATE score
  2. Interview. Worth 10% of the total; the Commission may test Odia reading, writing and speaking here

How to Apply

  1. Read the long advertisement and the instructions on opsc.gov.in before starting.
  2. Register on the OPSC portal between 22 October and 11 November 2026 (5:00 PM). The form is system-driven; options open according to the data you enter, so enter it accurately.
  3. For AEE (Civil), mark your order of preference among Water Resources, Works, and Housing and Urban Development; it is final.
  4. Upload scanned images of a recent passport-size photograph, your full signature and your left-hand thumb impression; unclear images lead to rejection without correspondence.
  5. Upload the documents listed below, including the QR-coded GATE score card for the year you choose and the Odia certificate if needed.
  6. Submit. A Permanent Public Service Account Number (PPSAN) is assigned. Take printouts of the registration and the final application, sign the declaration, and keep them with copies of the certificates to submit when asked.
  7. There is no edit facility: to change anything after submission, cancel the application and apply again within the last date. Apply early rather than on the closing day.
