No. The application window for the Odisha Civil Services Examination 2025 (OPSC Advertisement No. 05 of 2025-26) is closed. The final deadline to submit a registered application was 7 March 2026 at 5:00 p.m.; as of 8 October 2026, candidates cannot apply through that window.
What was the final OPSC OCS 2025 deadline?
The original OPSC advertisement set 20 February 2026 at 5:00 p.m. as the end of registration and examination-fee payment, and 27 February 2026 at 5:00 p.m. as the deadline to submit a registered application. These dates appeared in Advertisement No. 05 of 2025-26, dated 31 December 2025, reproduced in a Dharitri e-paper PDF.

An addendum dated 19 February 2026 extended registration and fee payment to 27 February 2026 at 5:00 p.m., and extended the registered-application submission deadline to 7 March 2026 at 5:00 p.m. The reproduced addendum is hosted by FreeJobAlert; check OPSC’s official website for current notices and confirmation.
Why does the notice say “apply now”?
That wording is stale for the date of this update. OPSC’s homepage lists later OCS 2025 mains-related notices, including a notice dated 6 October 2026 about use of a scribe in the mains examination. The recruitment had therefore progressed beyond the application stage by then.

Where should you check for current OPSC updates?
Use the official OPSC website, including Candidate’s Corner, for recruitment notices and candidate resources. The available information does not establish that applications have since reopened or provide a route for late applications, so do not assume an expired application can be submitted.
OPSC also warns candidates: “Any assurance for selection by unscrupulous elements should not only be ignored, but be brought to our notice for remedial measures.” Rely on the commission’s official notices and contact channels rather than anyone promising selection.
