It's a job in Bhubaneswar, where chances of getting a govt quarter is better than other employees. So one avail through online application. The seniority is based on date of joining in a particular scale of pay.

Job Environment :

Odisha Secretariat is the top most Office in the state under which other offices are being operated. Here employees work under the Secretaries of the concerned department. Some files may need approval of Honble Ministers or Chief Minister. So, you may get job satisfaction as a Govt employee. But we should not hope like a corporate office.
