OLM Odisha Recruitment 2026 CBT Exam Pattern - 100 MCQs, 90 Minutes, No Interview

Published 12 Nov 2026 · Updated 12 Nov 2026

Section 5 of the official Odisha Livelihoods Mission advertisement (1,115 contractual posts) explains how candidates will be tested. There is one Computer Based Test in English only - no Odia or other language option. The paper has 100 multiple-choice questions of one mark each, covering a post-specific (domain) part and a common part, in 90 minutes; PwD candidates get 30 minutes extra. Each wrong answer costs 0.33 mark and unattempted questions get zero. Scores are normalised when the test runs in several shifts. After the CBT, OLM publishes a provisional merit list and calls three times the vacancies of each position for document verification; the final merit list uses the normalised CBT marks plus document verification. There is no group discussion or personal interview. A mock test and the e-admit card (with date, shift and venue) will be put on missionshakti.odisha.gov.in before the exam. The syllabus appendix mentioned in the notice should be read on the official website. This site is not an official government website and does not re-host the notification.
