Explaining the reason behind the dwindling number of Odisha students appearing for Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination, Higher Education Minister Arun Sahu on Tuesday said “The state government has initiated many reforms in the education sector. But we cannot deny the fact that a large number of students from Odisha have created their own identities in foreign countries.”
Sahu continues: “It is students’ own choice in which field they want to make their careers. However, we always try our best to impart quality education. However, when it comes to recruitment, it is solely their own choice in which field they want to see themselves in future.”
It is learnt that a total of 685 candidates have been recommended for appointment for Indian Administrative Service, Indian Foreign Service, Indian Police Service and Central Services, Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’. The written part of the Civil Services Examination, 2021 was conducted by the UPSC in January, 2022 and the interviews for Personality Test were held in April-May, 2022.
