Formerly known Orissa, the state of Odisha lies on the eastern coast of India. Other states such, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Andhra Pradesh lie adjacent to its state borders. Another amazing fact about this state is that it has a coastline which stretches for roughly 485 kilometres along the Bay of Bengal.

Odisha also is the 11th largest state in India by population and 8th largest by area. It is divided into 30 districts grouped under three divisions (Behrampur, Sambalpur, and Cuttack) for better governance and administration.

Eligibility criteria for government jobs in Odisha :

Be it for Odisha or any other state, the situation is the same — a government job attracts candidates in hundreds and thousands. And the reason behind such numbers is known to all: job security, stability, promotions, pay hikes, perks, benefits and so on.

The government looks for quality candidates and a huge applicant pool doesn’t necessarily help as the recruitment process can take a long time. This is the reason why bars are set by the hiring authorities from the Odisha government which must be fulfilled by each applicant. 

The logic is simple — clear these bars (or eligibility criteria) to qualify for the Odisha govt job.
