OPSC Assistant Executive Engineer (Civil) Recruitment 2026: Overview
Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC) invites applications for Assistant Executive Engineer (Civil) under advertisement 07 of 2026-27. The recruitment is for Group A of the Odisha Municipal Engineering Service, under the Housing & Urban Development Department, Government of Odisha. Check the advertisement number when registering so that your application reaches the correct recruitment.
Service context: The appointment belongs to the state municipal engineering service and is administered through the Housing & Urban Development Department. This is the civil-engineering recruitment in advertisement 07; the separate agriculture-engineering advertisement is a different service with its own qualification and examination.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Engineering credential: The notice expressly accepts the specified Civil Engineering degree or AMIE route. Check the recognition of your institution and retain the qualification certificates and marksheets supporting the route you claim.
- Medical fitness: A selected candidate must satisfy the Medical Board before appointment. Selection by the Commission does not remove this appointment condition.
- Odisha reservation claims: The SC, ST and SEBC benefits specified in the advertisement apply to the eligible communities of Odisha. Your category claim in the submitted application is final, and the Commission may cancel a claim based on an invalid or subsequently cancelled certificate.
- Horizontal reservation: The notified provisions for women and other eligible groups operate within the category distribution. They are not additional seats. If suitable women are unavailable, the notice permits eligible men of the same category to fill those seats.
- SC/ST categories: The notification does not permit interchange of SC and ST reservation when suitable candidates are unavailable. The government may change the vacancy position according to public-service requirements.
- Serving applicants: Inform the head of your office before applying and produce the required No Objection Certificate at document verification. An online application does not replace your employer's service requirements.
- Provisional candidature: Admission to an examination remains provisional. Failure to meet the notified conditions can lead to cancellation when documents are checked, including after an examination or result.
- Appointment: Inclusion in a selection list does not itself create an entitlement to appointment. The government must be satisfied about your suitability and the other notified requirements.
- Fee refund condition: Where an examination fee is payable, the notice links its refund to applicants who appear in the Preliminary Examination. Registration alone does not meet this attendance condition.
- Source document: Read advertisement 07 of 2026-27 on the official OPSC advertisement board. An accessible copy of the government notification PDF is also available. Use the official OPSC application service for submission.
