Odisha Cabinet Removes Attempt Limits For Civil Services Exam Candidates

The Odisha government has officially removed the limit on the number of attempts for the <b>Odisha Civil Services</b> examination. The major decision was approved during a State Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi. Previously, general category candidates could appear for the exam only six times, while Socially and Educationally Backward Classes candidates were restricted to nine attempts. Under the amended <b>Odisha Civil Services</b> Rules, eligible aspirants can now make unlimited attempts. Candidates must still fulfill all prescribed <b>age limits</b> and eligibility requirements to apply. The reform aims to provide fair and wider opportunities for aspirants appearing in the competitive examinations.
