26.07.2019 : This day is memorable for the 500 ASOs who got their appointment letter in a workshop at Rabindra Mandap to join as Assistant Section Officer in Odisha State Secretariat. We all felt very elated on that day, as the advertisement for the post was on 18.09.2018 and OPSC successfully conducted this Examination and published final result within less than 9 months (262 days) that too without any major court cases. Hence this batch may be considered as the luckiest batch among all ASO recruitments conducted by OPSC.
After declaration of final result on 07.06.2019, orientation program was organised on 26.07.2019 at Rabindra Mandap.
Now it's completion of four years in service (2019-2023). So first of all, Congratulations to all ASO friends of RR-2018 batch on their 4th Work Anniversary. Within these four years, many of them has left this service to join other jobs with high salary and better rank like OAS, OPS, OFS, ORS etc. Out of 500, nearly 438 ASOS of RR-2018 are now working in different departments.
As a part of Government Service, each and every employee dreams to have promotion and pay hike. In current situation, there is no major vacancy in the rank of Section Officer. So they have to wait for promotion of SOs (2011 Batch) to DO. Besides, no ASOs of this batch qualify the minimum service period of 8 years for promotion also.
Hence, two major demands of this batch are expected to be fulfilled very soon for better promotion avenue.
(1) Although, ASO post is being recruited through OPSC, but this is the only post with Grade Pay of 4200 under PB-2. So the first demand is 4600 Grade Pay for base level post i.e. ASO. (2) Similarly, minimum continuous service for promotion to Section Officer is fixed to 8 years which is higher than that of any other cadres should be amended to 4 years.
Hope, everything will be fine. These ASOs can bring a better environment and enhance the efficiency level in Odisha State Secretariat.
Again congratulations to all......

Hi..
I am likely to get selected for ASO post even if OPSC revises the merit list on the basis of aggregate marks. I have completed the dv as per the current merit list published on the basis of sectional qualifying marks. Shall I join in case I am selected in the final merit list as I am currently working as Preventive Officer of Customs? I have heard that pay upgradation of ASO from 4200 to 4600 gp is under consideration.
