Odisha Police SI Exam 2024: Application Data Validation and Updation Begins; Check Deadline

The Odisha Uniformed Services Staff Selection Commission (OUSSSC) has directed candidates appearing for the Combined Police Service Examination-2024 at the Sub-Inspector (SI) level to update and verify their personal credentials and application-related information online within a specified deadline. The online correction and validation facility will remain available through the commission’s official website, ousssc.odisha.gov.in. According to the schedule announced by the commission, candidates can access the facility until 10 PM on October 29.

In an official communication, the commission clarified that the requirement to update and validate application details applies to all candidates who have registered for the Sub-Inspector-level recruitment examination, including those eligible for age relaxation under the applicable provisions. Applicants must review their existing information carefully and ensure that the credentials and other details submitted through the online facility are accurate. The OUSSSC has also made it clear that the information updated and validated by candidates during this window will be considered final for all further stages of the examination and other recruitment-related purposes.

The latest instruction comes against the backdrop of the controversy surrounding the Odisha Police Sub-Inspector recruitment examination, which was originally scheduled to take place in October 2025. The examination was subsequently cancelled after serious irregularities were uncovered in the selection process, triggering an investigation into alleged wrongdoing linked to the recruitment exercise. The case drew considerable attention because of allegations of a job racket involving individuals suspected of manipulating the selection process and exploiting candidates seeking government employment.
