Bhubaneswar: There will be no change in the schedule of the Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC) examination despite flood-like situation prevailing in several parts of Odisha, clarified Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari on Friday.
The Minister said any postponement would push the recruitment process back by almost six months, which is why the government has decided not to defer the exam.
He that the state government will ensure that candidates from flood-hit areas face no trouble in reaching their exam centres. Special transport arrangements will be made for them.
As many as 325 candidates from Ganjam district and around 100 candidates from other affected areas are set to appear for the examination. The government will facilitate their travel to the centres, Pujari informed.
He assured that all necessary steps will be taken so that no candidate misses the exam due to flood-related disruptions, especially in Ganjam district where incessant rain has thrown normal life out of gear and impacted connectivity.
