Indian Navy officer cracks OPSC OCS 2022 in first attempt, vows to prevent corruption

After working as a Petty Officer in the Indian Navy for 15 years, Amit Mallick from Bhubaneswar has successfully cracked the prestigious Odisha Civil Services (OCS) examination-2022 conducted by the Orissa Public Service Commission (OPSC), the result of which was declared on Saturday.

While Amit has secured No.3 rank in the service category, he has achieved All Odisha rank 521 in his first attempt.

After working in the Indian Navy for 15 years, Amit didn’t have his touch with study. However, he sincerely pursued his dream with meticulous preparation and proper strategy and was eventually successful.

Amit was so much determined to crack OPSC that he went to appear in the main examination by riding a wheelchair as he was seriously ill at that time. 

According to Amit, he used to travel across the country by riding a bike and that experience helped him a lot at the time of the examination. Amit was serving the Indian Navy during the Uri attack and the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attack.

“I am very happy to have cracked OPSC after working in the Indian Navy for 15 years. I had served the country and now I will serve the people of Odisha. I have worked very hard for the last one and a half years. I am thankful to the Indian Navy for teaching me the never-say-die attitude. My mother has sacrificed a lot for my success. I will try to prevent corruption by using my experience and discipline that I have got by working in the Indian Navy,” said Amit.
