Odisha Livelihoods Mission (OLM) is hiring for contractual positions across Odisha, including State, District and Block level posts, through a Computer Based Test. Most posts need a Post Graduate or Master degree, or a Graduate degree for some roles, plus a minimum of 3 or 5 years of relevant experience. You must also pass the Odia language test requirement. Online applications close on 5 December 2026 at 11:55 PM.

Who Should Apply for OLM Odisha Livelihoods Mission 2026

This suits graduates and postgraduates in agriculture, social work, commerce, finance, IT or rural management who have the required years of experience; applicants with only a school certificate or without the Odia test pass should not assume they qualify.

The exact qualification, age and other conditions are under Eligibility Criteria.

Watch Out Before You Apply

  • Keep your Odia test pass certificate ready, because you need either 8th standard Odia, 10th with Odia, or the Required Odia Test Pass Certificate.
  • Upload your caste certificate issued within the last three years if you claim SEBC status, and never submit an OBC certificate in its place.
  • Submit a caste certificate showing 'daughter of' if you are a woman claiming SC, ST or SEBC status; a certificate showing 'wife of' is rejected.
  • Bring original certificates to document verification, because missing originals lead to rejection of your candidature.
