What Posts Are Available? – OSSSC Vacancy & Eligibility 2026

OSSSC is filling one designation only: Radiographer. The 240 seats are split across every district of Odisha. Cuttack (26) and Ganjam (21) carry the heaviest load. Koraput (14), Angul (13) and Puri (13) follow. Deogarh has 1 seat. Sundargarh and Boudh have 2 each.

This is a district cadre. You will work in government health facilities of the allotted district and can be transferred only within that district. You may mark up to three districts in order of preference. Preference does not create a right to that district.

Category-wise and women-wise columns are in Annexure-I of Advertisement No. IIE-60/2026-2630/OSSSC. Special reservations included in the district totals: Ex-Servicemen 2 (Cuttack and Ganjam); Hearing Impaired 6 posts; Orthopaedically Impaired 4 posts.

What Is the Radiographer Salary in Odisha?

The advertisement places the post at Pay Matrix Level-7, Cell-01: ₹25,500–₹81,100 under ORSP Rules, 2017. Allowances follow Government of Odisha rules.

₹38,000–₹42,000/month is an indicative take-home at current DA-style rates for a Level-7 start in a smaller Odisha district (basic ₹25,500 + DA + 10% HRA, minus NPS). Cuttack or Bhubaneswar (Khordha) may pay more HRA. This is not an official salary slip. Confirm DA, HRA city class and deductions from the appointment order.

What Is the Application Fee?

Pay online through net banking, credit card, debit card or UPI on the OSSSC portal. The ₹500 fee is refundable to candidates who appear in the written test, subject to the Commission’s conditions. Fee paid on a discarded earlier attempt is generally not reused. Keep the payment receipt with the confirmation page.

How to Apply?

Applications are accepted only online on the OSSSC portal. No postal, email or walk-in form is allowed.

2. New users: Click Apply Online and complete New User Registration between 31 August and 23 September 2026.
3. Already registered users: Log in and complete Re-registration in the same window. Registration or re-registration alone is not an application.
4. Log in with User ID and password. Fill out the Radiographer-2026 application. Mark up to three districts in preference order.
5. Upload a photograph (20–100 KB, JPG/JPEG/PNG) and signature (20–50 KB, JPG/JPEG/PNG). Use our Photo & Signature Resizer before you start.

Apply path if the labelled button is not obvious: Visit osssc.gov.in → Apply Online → Register or Re-register → open Radiographer-2026 → submit form.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Finishing registration and skipping the application form. The portal treats an unsubmitted form as no application.
• Waiting until the last week of September to register. The registration gate shuts on 23 September 2026.
• Applying with an expired Council registration. Validity is checked as on the application date, not the exam date.
• Claiming PwD on a temporary disability certificate. Temporary disability is not accepted for PwD reservation.
• Uploading a photo or signature outside the stated file-size limits, which breaks submission on mobile networks.

How Are Radiographers Selected?

Selection is a multi-step process. Marks alone do not equal appointment.

1. Scrutiny of online applications — incomplete or ineligible forms are rejected.
2. Written test — eligible candidates sit a 100-mark objective paper.
3. Shortlisting — candidates at not less than 1.25 times the vacancies, category-wise, are called for verification.
4. Document verification before the District Level Board.
5. District allocation / optional physical counselling on merit-cum-choice, if conducted.
6. Provisional select list drawn district-wise, then appointment subject to vacancies and character / medical fitness.

No interview stage is mentioned in the current notification. Selection is based on written-test merit plus successful document verification.

Written test pattern

Duration is 2 hours. Mode is OMR or CBRE (to be notified). Negative marking is 0.25 for each wrong answer. Unattempted questions carry no penalty. More than one answer marked is treated as wrong.

Minimum qualifying marks: 30% for ST, SC, PwD and Ex-Servicemen; 35% for all other candidates.

Tie-break, if specified in the advertisement: higher marks in DMRT, then older candidate, then higher +2 Science marks, then the Commission’s discretion.

PwD candidates may get compensatory extra time (20 minutes per hour) and a scribe with written permission from the ADM-cum-District Superintendent at least three days before the test. They must also appear before a Medical Assessment Board for disability verification.

Why Does OSSSC Odisha Matter?

OSSSC is the state body that recruits Group-C staff for Odisha’s field departments. This Radiographer drive feeds the Health & Family Welfare network across Odisha, not a single teaching hospital. The Commission runs district-cadre lists so imaging staff stay inside one district rather than circulating statewide.

Candidates search this page for OSSSC Radiographer vacancy 2026, district-wise seats, DMRT eligibility, Council registration, Level-7 pay and the apply link on osssc.gov.in. They also search “Odisha Radiographer bharti” and compare this cycle with the earlier 338-post Radiographer exam.

The honest downside: you join a district hospital or CHC imaging room, not a metro corporate radiology chain. Night and emergency X-ray calls are part of the job. Preference for three districts is only a request. Merit and the roster decide the actual district.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take

This is the cleanest paramedical opening OSSSC has put out in this window after the large Nursing Officer-2026 exercise. Compared with AIIMS CRE Radiographer / Technician papers, the OSSSC paper is shorter (100 marks, two hours) and more DMRT-heavy (60+25 marks on the trade). Compared with a contractual NHM radiographer contract, this is regular state service on Level-7 with district-cadre stability. The previous OSSSC Radiographer cycle advertised 338 posts. This round is smaller at 240, so cut-offs can tighten in Cuttack, Ganjam and Khordha.

Best fit: DMRT or BMRT holders who already hold live Odisha Council registration, can work in Odia, and want a government imaging post in a home or nearby district rather than an all-India transfer job.

Skip this if you need a posting guarantee in Bhubaneswar, you do not have Council registration in hand, or you are targeting AIIMS / central institute pay and equipment. A diploma holder chasing only CT/MRI specialist work in a corporate centre will find CHC plain-film duty slow.

Practical tip: Register in the first week of September and treat 23 September 2026 as your real deadline. Then spend the extra week till 30 September only on form checks, district order and fee. Start Council renewal now if the card lapses before you click submit.

What Documents Are Required for Odisha Govt Jobs?

Keep originals ready for verification and scanned copies for the form.

• HSC certificate (date of birth)
• +2 Science certificate and mark sheet
• DMRT or BMRT certificate and mark sheet
• Radiographers Council registration/renewal certificate
• Odia-language proof (Class VII or above / prescribed Odia test)
• Caste certificate (SC / ST / SEBC), if claimed
• UDID card or permanent disability certificate (40% or more), if claimed
• ESM discharge book/identity card and non-re-employment undertaking, if claimed
• OSH&FW contractual appointment letter(s), if claiming the 45-year cap
• Recent photograph and signature in the stated file sizes
• Photo ID used on the application

Document alert: Temporary disability certificates will not support a PwD claim. Council registration must be valid on the application date. ESM candidates already in a regular State civil post may get age relaxation but not ESM reservation.

What Happens After Selection?

1. Written-test scores produce a provisional master merit list.
2. Shortlisted candidates attend document verification at the district board with originals.
3. Optional counselling/district allocation may run on merit-cum-choice against leftover seats.
4. A district-wise provisional select list is published. Appointment follows vacancy and character verification.
5. You join the allotted district health establishment as a Group-C Radiographer on Level-7.
6. Posting and later transfers stay within that district. Confirm probation, NPS enrolment and duty roster from the appointment letter. Similar OSSSC health drives often take several months from test to joining.

Career path in the state health system is typically Radiographer → senior radiographer / supervisory imaging roles through departmental promotion rules. That pathway is slower than a private diagnostic chain but more predictable on pay and leave.

✅ Confirmed: District cadre Group-C, Level-7 ORSP, written test + DV, three-district preference.

FAQs – OSSSC Radiographer 2026

Q1: What is the last date to apply for OSSSC Radiographer 2026?

A: 30 September 2026 for submitting the online application. Registration and re-registration close earlier, on 23 September 2026. Late forms are not accepted. No extension has been announced as of 30 August 2026.

Q2: What is the age limit for OSSSC Radiographer?

A: 21 to 42 years for UR as of 28 August 2026. SC, ST, SEBC and women get 5 extra years. PwD candidates get 10 years. Ex-Servicemen add their defence service period. Contractual OSH&FW Radiographers can go up to 45 years.

Q3: Is there an exam for OSSSC Radiographer, or is it interview-based?

A: Yes, there is a written test. It is a 100-mark objective paper (DMRT 60, practical skills 25, Arithmetic 10, English 5) with 0.25 negative marking, followed by document verification. No interview is mentioned.

Q4: What is the salary of an OSSSC Radiographer?

A: Level-7 basic is ₹25,500 (scale ₹25,500–₹81,100). Indicative in-hand at current-style DA and 10% HRA is about ₹38,000–₹42,000 a month in a Z-class district. Actual pay follows Odisha DA, HRA class and NPS deductions.

Q5: Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for OSSSC 2026?

A: No. You must have passed +2 Science and DMRT or BMRT, and hold valid Council registration, on the date of online application. Produce those originals at document verification. Do not apply on a result-awaited basis unless a later official note says otherwise.

Q6: Is OSSSC Radiographer a permanent government job?

A: Yes. It is a regular District Cadre Group-C post under the Health & Family Welfare Department. Pay is ORSP Level-7. NPS and other state rules apply as notified at appointment. It is not an NHM contract seat.

Q7: Can candidates from other states apply for OSSSC recruitment?

A: Indian citizens can apply if they meet Odia-language rules and hold registration with the Radiographers Council of Odisha. There is no separate “other-state ban” in the published conditions, but Council registration and Odia are hard filters.

Q8: Where will I be posted if I get selected for OSSSC Radiographer?

A: Inside one of Odisha’s 30 districts. You may list three district preferences. Final allotment is merit-cum-vacancy. Transfers later stay within the allotted district. Cuttack and Ganjam have the most seats.

Q9: Is Odisha domicile compulsory for this Radiographer post?

A: The published conditions stress Indian citizenship, Odia language and Odisha Council registration, not a separate domicile certificate line. In practice, Council registration is the gate that most out-of-state diploma holders must clear first.

Q10: Is there negative marking in the Radiographer written test?

A: Yes. Each wrong answer costs 0.25 marks. Unattempted questions have no penalty. Marking two options is treated as wrong. Qualifying marks are 30% for ST, SC, PwD and ESM, and 35% for others.

Q11: What are the disadvantages of this Radiographer job?

A: Worth knowing before you apply: you join a district hospital or CHC imaging room, not a corporate CT/MRI suite. Emergency and shift work is normal. Your first district may not be your first preference. The 240-seat pool is smaller than the last 338-post cycle, so competition in popular districts will be sharp.

Q12: How much do radiographers earn in Odisha government hospitals?

A: Fresh Level-7 joiners typically take home around ₹38,000–₹42,000 a month after deductions in a smaller district, before any extra duty allowance. That sits below central institute technician pay but above most NHM consolidated radiographer contracts.

Q13: Is a state radiographer exam worth it compared with AIIMS CRE?

A: It depends on the life you want. AIIMS CRE is all-India, higher pay at central institutes, and harder paper competition. OSSSC offers district-cadre stability in Odisha, an Odia workplace, and a DMRT-centred 100-mark test. If home-state posting matters more than metro pay, this paper is the rational first attempt.

Final Checklist – Is This the Right Job for You?

Use this quick checklist before you apply:

• You meet the age and educational criteria as on 28 August 2026.
• You hold valid Radiographers Council registration on the application date.
• You can serve as Regular Government Service staff in the allotted Odisha district, including shift imaging duty.
• You can arrange all required certificates before document verification.
• You are prepared for the written test (DMRT + practical skills + Arithmetic + English, 0.25 negative marking).
• You understand district-cadre posting and have chosen three districts with care.
