How this post was verified — please read

The official homepage of the High Court of Orissa lists "Advertisement No.06 of 2026 for recruitment to 33 posts of Jr. Stenographer, 2026" (also in Important Notices dated 12 November 2026). The official notification PDF itself could not be read — the host did not load from our server. The detailed figures in this post (fee, pay, age, dates, qualification, selection stages) rest on multiple independent secondary sources that agree exactly with each other. One point is flagged, not presented as official: a category-wise split (UR 11 including 4 women, SEBC 1, ST 12 including 4 women, SC 9 including 3 women, totalling 33 including 11 women) comes from a single source only, with no second source confirming it, so it is not carried as a vacancy table. This post carries the total of 33 posts only.
