Vacancy Details

The notice also lists 2 posts for PwBD candidates and 1 for Ex-Servicemen. If no suitable woman is found in a category, the unfilled women’s posts of that category go to men of the same category. Posts cannot be swapped between SC and ST. The Court can change the number of posts or cancel the recruitment at any stage.

Eligibility Criteria

SEBC (Non-Creamy Layer) means the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes whose family income is below the creamy-layer limit; you need a certificate to prove it, and it must not be more than 3 years old.

Here is how those age rules work out for three made-up candidates. All ages are counted on 12.11.2026.

Who Should Apply

• These are posts on a fixed government pay scale (Rs 19,900 to Rs 63,200, Level 4) with DA and allowances, not a stipend or a trainee job.
• You need three papers ready before you can finish the form: your degree, your PGDCA (or equal) certificate and a typing certificate showing 40 words a minute.
• There is no interview. Four tests decide the result, and only the last one, the typing test, counts towards your final rank.
• Women get 10 of the 31 posts, and SC and ST candidates pay no fee.

Who should skip this:

• You are not comfortable writing in English and Odia. The Language Test has an English essay, precis writing and translation both ways between English and Odia.
• You do not yet have a PGDCA (or equal) certificate or a typing certificate. The notice asks you to upload both with the form.
• You hold an OBC certificate instead of an SEBC one. The notice says an OBC certificate will not be accepted in place of an SEBC certificate.

Selection Process

In short: the first three stages are only pass-or-fail. Only your typing test marks decide your rank. The Chief Justice can lower the qualifying marks if too few candidates pass.

Salary and Benefits

In plain terms, you start at Rs 19,900 a month before allowances. The notice does not give the DA rate, so the in-hand figure depends on what the Odisha Government is paying at the time. (Level 4 of the Pay Matrix is a government pay grade.)

How to Apply

1. Read the notice and the “Instructions to Candidates” on the Court’s website.
2. Go to orissahighcourt.nic.in and open Recruitment Corner, then Examination Portal, then “Recruitment to the posts of Junior Grade Typist / Data Entry Operator (Advertisement No. 07 of 2026)”.
3. Fill in the form. Type your name and date of birth exactly as they are on your 10th certificate. If your name changed, upload the Gazette notification.
4. Upload the scanned documents listed below.
5. Pay the Rs 500 fee online (SC, ST and PwBD candidates can skip this), submit the form and keep a printout of it.

Note: Only online applications are accepted. Forms sent in any other way are rejected. For help, call the Recruitment Cell on 9437498780 or write to ohcrecruitment1948@gmail.com, on working days from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Write your name and date of birth exactly as on your 10th certificate. Even a changed letter or a missing space counts as a change of name and needs a Gazette notification, or the form is rejected.
• Women from SC, ST or SEBC must upload a caste certificate that says “Daughter of”. A certificate that says “Wife of” is rejected.
• An SEBC (Non-Creamy Layer) certificate more than 3 years old can be rejected, and an OBC certificate cannot replace it.
• You cannot change your community or caste status after you have entered it.
• If you send more than one form, only the latest one (with the higher acknowledgement number) is counted.
• Do not wait for the last day. The notice asks candidates to apply well before the closing date.
