Call it smile back in the face of OAS officer aspirants. The Orissa Public Service Commission would host a fresh Main Examination for the Orissa Civil Services Examination from July 22, sources said on Sunday.
The examination will continue till August 18. With this, about 4,560 eligible candidates would appear their Main Examinations.
The move of the Commission came following the May 21 directive of the Orissa High Court, which had asked for a fresh and composite Main examination by cancelling the previous one in which 3,730 candidates had appeared.
The Court had ordered to conduct the examination within three months. Earlier, a second Main test, ordered by the State Administrative Tribunal, was stayed by the High Court on March 26.
Last year, after the preliminary examination for 380 posts of Orissa Civil Services was held, the Commission brought out a list of 3,730 candidates eligible for the Main examination.
As per the regulation, for one post, at least 12 candidates have to be selected for the Main test which put the number at 4,560. Later, 3,730 candidates appeared for the OCS (Main) Examination.
This, however, was challenged before the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) by Tanmay Kumar Rout and others through a petition.
They pleaded that by selecting insufficient number of candidates, OPSC had deprived 830 others of their right to appear for the Main examination.
In September, the SAT asked OPSC to hold a second Main examination for rest of the candidates and the test was scheduled on March 27.
The SAT direction, meanwhile, was challenged before the HC by Jeetesh Kumar Nayak, Tapan Kumar Mohapatra and others who submitted that two Mains will be contrary to the principles of fair conduct of examination since there would be difference in questions and settings.
