The Odisha education department has rejected Madhya Pradesh OBC certificates of twelve candidates, preventing them from appearing in the KVS‑NVS interview round. Their families have appealed to the Chief Minister for intervention.
The education authorities in Odisha have turned down the Madhya Pradesh OBC certificates submitted by twelve candidates seeking positions in the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) interview process. As a result, the candidates have been barred from participating in the scheduled interview round.
The affected candidates and their families have approached the state government, urging Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to intervene and review the decision. They argue that the rejection of the certificates unfairly blocks their eligibility for the teaching and administrative posts advertised by KVS and NVS.
Officials from the Odisha education department have not provided detailed reasons for the rejection, stating that the certificates did not meet the required criteria for verification. The matter is now pending further clarification from the state administration.
