The cabinet also gave its nod to the proposal for presenting the Supplementary Budget for the financial year 2025–26 during the winter session of the Odisha Legislative Assembly, which begins on November 27.
According to officials, the amendments involve three major recruitment frameworks:
- Combined Graduate Level Recruitment Examination for Group-B and Group-C Specialist Posts and Services Rules, 2022
- Combined Graduate Level Recruitment Examination for Group-B and Group-C of different State Cadre Posts or Services Rules, 2022
- Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level or Equivalent Recruitment Examination for Specialist Posts or Services Rules, 2022

The approval marks another step in the administration’s efforts to strengthen governance and improve efficiency in public recruitment systems.
