We cannot line Odisha Police SI up against other exams yet
This does not mean Odisha Police SI shares nothing with the exams you are preparing for — only that we have not loaded a chapter-by-chapter syllabus we can compare against, so we will not guess. We compare 0 exams whose official syllabus we have traced to the conducting body, and this one is not among them yet.

How to applyPending verification
- 1Watch the Odisha Police recruitment list for the advertisement you want — an OPRB advertisement for Sub-Inspector and equivalent ranks, or an SSB advertisement for Sepoy / Constable in the battalions.
- 2Apply in online mode only, through the link given on the Odisha Police website. No physical or hard copy of the online application form needs to be submitted.
- 3Keep a valid e-mail address and mobile number active until the recruitment process ends, because the Board sends important messages there.
- 4Pay nothing — the examination fee has been exempted for all categories of candidates as per G.A. & P.G. Department Notification No. 9897/Gen.
- 5Upload clear, legible scanned copies of the mandatory documents while filling the form — a recent colour passport size photograph, signature and thumb impression, the caste certificate where claimed, the 10th or equivalent pass certificate in support of the declared age, the degree pass certificate for Sub-Inspector posts, and ex-servicemen documents where claimed. OBC certificates are not accepted in lieu of SEBC certificates and an application with an OBC certificate is liable for rejection.
- 6Download the admit card from the website when intimated by SMS and e-mail. No printed admit card is dispatched by post at any stage.
- 7Carry the hard copy of the admit card and the original photo identity card named in the application form to the allotted examination centre.
- 8Expect a separate admit card for the Physical Measurement and Physical Efficiency Test, carrying the date, time and venue for that stage.
- 9Note that admission to the written examination and the later tests is provisional and based on the information furnished in the online application form; the candidature is cancelled if any information is later found incomplete, incorrect, misleading or suppressed.
FAQsPending verification
They are run by two different boards. The Odisha Police Recruitment Board (OPRB), Bhubaneswar, runs the Combined Police Service Examination (CPSE) for Sub Inspector of Police, Sub Inspector of Police (Armed), Station Officer (Fire Service) and Assistant Jailor. The State Selection Board (SSB), Odisha Police, Cuttack, runs the recruitment of Sepoys / Constables in the OSAP, IR, SIR and Special Security battalions, through Battalion Level Selection Boards.
What qualification do I need?
For Sub Inspector of Police, Sub Inspector of Police (Armed) and Assistant Jailor, a Bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognised University. For Station Officer (Fire Service), a Science or Engineering graduate from a Government recognised University or Institution. For Sepoy / Constable, the High School Certificate Examination — Matriculation or 10th Class pass — from the Board of Secondary Education, Odisha, or an equivalent.
Do I have to know Odia?
Yes. A Sub-Inspector candidate must be able to speak, read and write Odia, and must have passed the M.E. School or a higher examination with Odia as a subject, or the H.S.C. or an equivalent with Odia as the medium in a non-language subject, or the written test in Odia of M.E. School standard conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Odisha. The Sepoy / Constable written paper also carries Odia language questions and is set in English and Odia.
Can women apply?
Women and transgender candidates may apply for Sub Inspector of Police and Assistant Jailor, but not for Sub Inspector of Police (Armed) or Station Officer in Fire Service. Persons with Disability are not eligible for any of the CPSE posts. The Sepoy / Constable battalion advertisement prescribes physical standards for men only.
Is there an application fee?
No. Both advertisements state that the examination fee has been exempted for all categories of candidates, as per G.A. & P.G. Department Notification No. 9897/Gen.
What are the physical standards?
The notification prescribes a minimum height, weight and chest measurement that differ by category and by gender, and requires at least a 5 cm difference between the unexpanded and expanded chest. StudyBddy does not publish the figures themselves. They sit in a table in the official PDF whose cells did not survive text extraction, so no measurement here could be traced back to the document. Read the physical-standards table in the current advertisement before relying on any number, because whether you meet it decides whether you may apply at all.
Where is the current status of these recruitments published?
On the Odisha Police recruitment list, where each notice appears with its letter number, date and subject. As read for this record, the Sepoys / Constables-2024 recruitment has run to its revised final result and joining notices, while the CPSE-2024 written examination for Sub-Inspector stands postponed with admit card downloading on hold, and no rescheduled date appears on that list.
Final eligibility and dates are always subject to the latest official notification. Content marked “Pending verification” is not presented as verified advice.
