Why OUSSSC Instead of OPRB?
This is the most important update candidates need to know. OUSSSC (Odisha Uniformed Services Staff Selection Commission) is a newly established commission created after large-scale recruitment scams were uncovered in the 2025 SI exam conducted by the older OPRB. Former J&K DGP Rashmi Ranjan Swain was appointed as the first OUSSSC chairman in March 2026 to ensure fair and transparent recruitment.
Previous SI applicants: Candidates who applied in the earlier SI recruitment and were found eligible do NOT need to re-apply. Their applications will be automatically transferred to OUSSSC.
