The Odisha Staff Selection Commission (OSSC) has activated the official mock test link for the written examination of the Combined Recruitment Examination of different posts having Physical Measurement and Physical Efficiency Test-2025, conducted under Advt No. 980/OSSC dated 19.03.2025. The notice appeared in the What’s New section of ossc.gov.in on 28.08.2026, three days before the Computer Based Recruitment Examination (CBRE) scheduled for 31.08.2026.
The mock test is a free practice interface that opens a demo login screen (System Name: C001, Subject: Mock Exam) with sample login credentials shown inside the login box. It lets a candidate rehearse the exact exam-hall screen — question palette, timer, save-and-next and mark-for-review — before the real paper. It carries no marks and is not a substitute for downloading the Admission Letter.

Note: These timings are as announced in OSSC’s 18.08.2026 notice on the conduct of the written examination. The reporting time, gate-closing time and centre address printed on your own Admission Letter are the final authority — read that sheet in full and follow it if anything differs.
What This Means for You
Download and print your Admission Letter from ossc.gov.in first — that is the compulsory document. The mock test does not replace it, and OSSC does not send any hard copy by post.
Open the mock test link on a desktop or laptop browser and sign in using the sample credentials shown inside the login box. Nothing you do there is recorded against your candidature.
Spend a few minutes on the interface itself: switching between sections, using the question palette, save and next, mark for review, clearing a response, and watching how the countdown timer behaves.
Do not treat the mock questions as a syllabus guide — they are generic demo questions. Revise from the syllabus given in Advt No. 980/OSSC instead.
On 31.08.2026, reach your centre by 12:00 Noon. The gate shuts at 1:30 P.M. and late entry is not allowed under any circumstance.
Documents to Carry to the Exam Centre
Printed Admission Letter (Admit Card)
Clear printout downloaded from ossc.gov.in; no hard copy is despatched by post
Original photo identity proof
Aadhaar, Voter ID, Driving Licence, PAN card or Passport — the name must match the Admission Letter exactly
Recent passport-size photograph
The same photograph uploaded with the online application, in case the centre asks for one
Anything else listed on your Admission Letter
The instruction sheet attached to the Admission Letter is the final checklist — read it fully before exam day
This is general exam-day guidance based on OSSC’s standard instructions; the itemised list on your own Admission Letter takes precedence.
Assuming the mock test replaces the Admission Letter — you will not be allowed into the centre without a printed Admission Letter and original photo ID.
Practising only on a mobile phone; the exam hall uses a desktop computer, so the mouse-driven layout you must get used to is the desktop one.
Trying to log in to the mock test with your OSSC registration number — it is a demo screen and uses the sample credentials shown in the login box.
Treating the demo questions as an indication of the syllabus or difficulty level; they are generic placeholders, not OSSC content.
Reaching the centre after 1:30 P.M. — the gate closes then and late candidates are not admitted, even though the paper starts at 2:00 P.M.
Carrying a photocopy or a phone screenshot of the identity proof instead of the original document.
