According to the Odisha I & PR department, the recruitment process of these schematic teachers will start after the conclusion of the appointments in the ongoing Junior Teacher recruitment advertised in 2023.

Notably, a similar notification was issued on October 23, 2023, for the recruitment of around 20,000 junior teachers in Odisha.

Later, some candidates moved the Orissa High Court alleging irregularities in the recruitment process.

Following an initial hearing on the petition on January 19, the Court had asked the Odisha government to put on hold the final selection process and appointment of Junior Teachers till the next hearing.

Orissa High Court concluded the hearing on January 31 but has reserved its interim order.
