Odisha Removes Attempt Limits for Civil Services Exam Across All Categories
The Odisha government has removed category-based limits on the number of attempts for the Odisha Civil Services (OCS) examination, allowing candidates from all categories to appear unlimited times, subject to age and eligibility criteria. This amendment, approved by the State Cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, equalizes attempt opportunities across categories. Previously, General and SEBC candidates faced attempt caps, while SC and ST candidates had unlimited tries. The change aims to provide greater flexibility and fairness for aspirants.
