Block Mission Manager and Block Manager have no SEBC seat at all. The exchange of reservation between SC and ST will not be considered.
The women, sports person, ex-servicemen and PwD seats are adjusted inside the categories above. The notification prints them as below.
| Post | Women seats | Sports, Ex-Servicemen, PwD |
|---|---|---|
| Program Assistant | ST 1, UR 1 | 0, 0, NA |
| District Mission Manager | ST 1, UR 2 | 0, 0, 0 |
| Project Manager (each of the 4 posts) | ST 2, SC 2, SEBC 1, UR 5 | 0, 1, 1 |

If no suitable woman is found in a category, a male candidate of the same category fills the seat. Unfilled ex-servicemen and PwD seats are carried forward to later years. A PwD, ex-servicemen or sports person candidate who belongs to SC, ST or SEBC claims the seat of that category. One who belongs to none of these claims an Unreserved seat.

What Is the Selection Process for OLM Odisha Recruitment 2026?

There is no group discussion or personal interview. A provisional answer key comes first, and you can raise objections in the window OLM gives. After that the final key is used for evaluation. If the exam runs in many shifts, scores are normalised, and the normalised score is worked out to seven decimal places to reduce ties. If two candidates still tie, the older one ranks first, and then the names are compared in alphabetical order. Exact exam dates, shifts and venues come on the e-admit card. Practise with the mock test link on the website and see the syllabus page while you prepare. The syllabus appendix is not part of the PDF we read.
