You register with the Odisha employment exchange online and free on the Directorate of Employment's portal, empmission.odisha.gov.in, and then confirm it at your district employment exchange with your original documents. If you are applying for OUSSSC Constable (Civil), you need this registration before you submit that form, which closes on 12 Nov 2026.
Why OUSSSC Constable (Civil) needs it
The OUSSSC recruitment 2026 advertisement (para 7.20) says a Constable (Civil) candidate must be registered in the employment exchange of the district they apply for, before the final submission of the application, and in only one employment exchange. Constable (Civil) is a district post, so the exchange must match your chosen police district.
You are applying for | Register in |
|---|---|
A police district (for example Ganjam or Puri) | The employment exchange of that district |
The Police Commissionerate, Cuttack-Bhubaneswar | The employment exchange of Cuttack or Khordha district |
A district other than your own, as an SC or ST candidate | The Special Employment Exchange for SC & ST, Bhubaneswar |
Home Guards and Group-D employees of the Police Department, ex-servicemen and ex-Agniveers don't need employment exchange registration for this recruitment. The other OUSSSC posts don't ask for it either. See the OUSSSC Constable exam page for eligibility, the exam pattern and the syllabus.
Documents to keep ready
The portal's document list asks for scanned copies of:
A passport-size photo (JPG or JPEG)
Your resident certificate (PDF)
Your caste certificate, if you belong to SC, ST or SEBC (PDF)
All certificates and mark sheets from Class 10 up to your highest qualification (PDF)
Experience certificates, if you have worked anywhere (PDF)
Also keep a mobile number and email ID that you use, and the originals of all these documents for the exchange visit.
Step by step: register online
Open empmission.odisha.gov.in, the Directorate of Employment's portal.
Under Employment Services, click Jobseeker Registration (new jobseeker registration).
Choose the employment exchange of your district. For OUSSSC Constable (Civil), this must be the exchange of the district you will apply for (see the table above).
Fill in your personal details, address, education from Class 10 onwards and any work experience. Enter your name and date of birth exactly as on your Class 10 certificate.
Upload the photo and the PDFs listed above, check every entry, and submit.
Save or print the acknowledgement. It carries a temporary registration number.
Visit the exchange to confirm it
The online form is only the first half. Take the acknowledgement and the original documents to your district employment exchange so they can verify them and confirm your registration; you then get your final registration number. The portal says the originals must be verified at the exchange "within the specified time"; Careers360, other guides and OdishaTV put this at 20 days, after which the temporary number is cancelled.
For OUSSSC applicants: the form closes on 12 Nov 2026 at 10 PM. Register online today and visit your exchange as soon as possible, so you have your registration number before you submit the OUSSSC form. To be safe, get it verified at the exchange before you submit the OUSSSC form.
Rules to remember
The service is free. You only pay a cyber café or CSC if you use one for scanning or typing.
Register only once, in the exchange for the district where you live. Registering in two exchanges can cancel your registration.
Renew your registration on time. Guides put the validity at 3 years; renew online in the month shown on your card, through "Renew Candidate" on the same portal.
Add new qualifications to your registration when you pass an exam, so your record stays complete.
The portal's own registration procedure page has the official steps.
