Odisha Police Recruitment 2026: 7,664 Constable and SI Posts — Vacancy Details, Eligibility
The Odisha government has approved the recruitment of 7,664 personnel into the Odisha Police, one of the largest police hiring drives the state has seen in recent years. The Home Department issued the order on 26 May 2026, clearing posts across four categories — Civil Constable, OISF Constable, Sub-Inspector (SI) and Constable (Communication).
There is an important change this time. The recruitment process has been shifted from the Odisha Police Recruitment Board (OPRB) to the OUSSSC, which will now conduct the selection. Candidates should note this change and follow announcements from the new recruiting body instead of the old board.
