The Odisha State Pollution Control Board has officially released the admit card for the Group B and Group C recruitment examination 2026. Candidates who have applied for these posts can now download their hall tickets from the official website. The written examination is scheduled to be held from February 25 to February 27, 2026 at various centres across Odisha.
I am writing this because many candidates wait anxiously for their admit cards, and missing important details at this stage can create unnecessary stress. The hall ticket is a mandatory document for entry into the examination hall, and without it, candidates will not be allowed to appear for the exam. So it is important to download and verify it well in advance.
