Odisha Reschedules OTET 2026 to July 5 After Date Clash with OSSSC Exam
The Odisha Teacher Eligibility Test (OTET) 2026, originally scheduled for June 28, has been postponed to July 5 following candidate protests over a date clash with the Odisha Subordinate Staff Selection Commission (OSSSC) exam. The OSSSC exam, initially set for June 20, was rescheduled to June 28, causing the overlap. OTET will be held in two sessions: Paper I from 9 AM to 11:30 AM and Paper II from 2 PM to 4:30 PM. Both exams use multiple-choice formats with different marking schemes.
