Vacancy & Eligibility

- and a valid GATE score in Civil Engineering AEE (Mechanical) Degree in Mechanical Engineering or AMIE in Mechanical
- and a valid GATE score in Mechanical Engineering The qualification must be held on the date of application. The GATE rules decide eligibility as much as the degree does: - A GATE score is valid for three years, so only GATE 2024, 2025 and 2026 score cards are accepted. - The score is valid only if the candidate's GATE marks are at or above the qualifying mark for their category printed on the score card. The advertisement's own example: an SEBC candidate with 32.5 marks against an OBC-NCL qualifying mark of 33.3 is not eligible, score card or not. - Only the QR-coded GATE score card is accepted
- a GATE mark sheet is not. - A candidate with score cards from more than one year uploads one, and is considered only on that one. - An affidavit in the format at Annexure-I, affirming the score card is genuine, must be submitted. Forgery is treated as a criminal offence and leads to debarment. - OPSC may ask candidates to log in to the GATE portal during verification, so keep the GATE enrolment ID, email and password.

Selection Process & Exam Pattern
Document verification in phases. Candidates are called in a reasonable number, category-wise, strictly in order of the uploaded GATE score, for scrutiny of the score card, documents, eligibility and reservation claims. Appearing at verification confers no right to selection.
Shortlist for interview. After verification, about two times the advertised vacancies in each category (minimum five) are shortlisted on GATE score.
Interview. Worth 10% of the total
the Commission may test Odia reading, writing and speaking here.
Final merit. GATE score at 90% plus interview marks
the final list equals the number of advertised vacancies per category. Ties are broken first by interview marks, then by age (older first).
After the result, OPSC publishes the GATE score (at 90%) of the last selected and last shortlisted candidate in each category, together with individual GATE and interview marks.
