With 933 vacancies to fill, the news marks an important milestone for the thousands of candidates who have submitted applications.
Scheduled to take place on March 8 and 9, 2025, the Odisha Police SI examination is expected to attract considerable participation, as candidates gear up to demonstrate their readiness for the role of Sub Inspector. Those who applied for the positions of Sub Inspector (both Unarmed and Armed posts) can now download their admit cards, which are mandatory for entry to the examination venue.
Candidates are advised to visit the official website and access their admit cards. To do this, candidates will need their login credentials, including their Registration Number or Roll Number and Date of Birth or Password. Once logged in, they can navigate to the admit card link where they can download and print their card for future reference.
The admit card contains key details, including the exam date, venue, reporting time, and additional instructions for candidates. It is imperative for candidates to check the details on their admit card, such as their name, father's name, photo, signature, reporting time, and exam venue, to avoid any discrepancies on examination day. If any errors are found, candidates need to contact the exam officials immediately for resolution prior to the exam.
The examination will be conducted using OMR mode, where candidates will answer multiple-choice questions (MCQs). The Odisha Police Recruitment Board advises candidates to familiarize themselves with the exam pattern, which includes two main papers. The first paper will test General English and Odia Language with maximum marks of 100, to be completed within 90 minutes. The second paper, featuring General Studies, holds up to 200 marks and has a duration of 180 minutes.
For candidates selected for specific roles such as Station Officer Fire Service, there is also Paper-III focusing on technical aspects. This paper will also be allotted 200 marks and has similar time restrictions. The total marks for the complete examination will amount to 500 points across the three papers.
It is important to note the marking scheme: candidates will receive 1 mark for each correct answer, but there will be a deduction of 0.25 marks for incorrect answers. This structure emphasizes the importance of careful selection of answers, making effective preparation and study all the more significant for aspirants.
The Odisha Police Recruitment Board maintains high expectations for candidates preparing for this exam. Aspirants must diligently review the syllabus, which encompasses various subjects, ensuring they give attention to both General Studies and language skills.
