The OSSSC RI ARI mains admit card 2026 is now available for candidates who have been provisionally screened for the Main Examination under Combined Recruitment Examination-2023 (IV). This main exam covers the posts of Revenue Inspector, ICDS Supervisor, Assistant Revenue Inspector, Amin, and Statistical Field Surveyor. If you qualified in the preliminary stage, the next step is to log in to the OSSSC portal and download your admission letter.
The current official notice is clear on the most important points. The main examination will be held on 26 April 2026 in CBRE mode, in a single shift from 09:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The venue and centre details are printed on the admission letter, and OSSSC has specifically stated that no hard copy will be sent to any candidate.
This page is built around what candidates usually need first: the official download route, login method, exam timing, what to verify on the admission letter, how centre allocation may work, and what the notice actually says about merit, tie-breaking, and next steps after the mains exam.

Main exam date, shift, and mode
The main examination for CRE-2023(IV) is officially scheduled for 26 April 2026 across the state in CBRE mode.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Exam date | 26 April 2026 |
| Mode | CBRE |
| Shift | Single shift |
| Timing | 09:00 AM to 12:00 PM |
The timing given in the official admit card release notice itself confirms a three-hour examination window. Candidates should still rely on the admission letter for their exact venue and reporting details.
What to check on the admission letter
After downloading the admission letter, review the details carefully before exam day. The official notice confirms that venue and centre details are available in the admission letter itself.
- Candidate name and registration details
- Post group and exam stage
- Exam date and shift timing
- Centre and venue details
- Instructions printed on the admission letter
If there is any obvious mismatch or if the document is unclear after printing, resolve it as early as possible through the official portal or support channels.
Centre allotment and hard copy rules
OSSSC has clearly stated that no hard copy of the admission letter will be sent to any candidate. The downloaded copy is the operative document for the examination.
The notice also says examination centres have been identified in all districts. However, because of infrastructure or capacity constraints at some centres, some candidates may be allotted centres other than the preferred district selected at the time of online application.
That is why candidates should read the centre details on the admission letter carefully instead of assuming the exam will be held only in their preferred district.
Who can appear in the OSSSC RI ARI mains exam
The candidates allowed to appear in this mains exam are those who were provisionally screened based on their performance in the preliminary examination. OSSSC published the preliminary examination result notice on 16 February 2026.
That result notice also said that the roll numbers of candidates provisionally screened and allowed to participate in the main examination were published in Annexure-I. Candidates could also view their individual result details by logging into the Commission portal and using the Result or Marks menu.
Posts covered under this mains admit card
This main examination under CRE-2023(IV) covers the following district cadre posts:
- Revenue Inspector (RI)
- ICDS Supervisor
- Assistant Revenue Inspector (ARI)
- Amin
- Statistical Field Surveyor (SFS)
The current admission letter is not for every OSSSC recruitment running in 2026. Candidates should match the exam stage and recruitment year printed on the document with CRE-2023(IV).
Eligibility snapshot for the recruitment
The combined recruitment for these posts does not have one single qualification level for all posts. Some posts require graduation, while some are open to 10+2 qualified candidates. That is why candidates should always interpret eligibility post-wise.
| Post | Broad qualification level |
|---|---|
| Revenue Inspector (RI) | Graduate |
| ICDS Supervisor | Graduate |
| Assistant Revenue Inspector (ARI) | 12th Pass or equivalent, with applicable technical or computer-related conditions as notified |
| Amin | 12th Pass or equivalent, with applicable technical or computer-related conditions as notified |
| Statistical Field Surveyor (SFS) | 12th Pass or equivalent |
For the purpose of this combined recruitment, the minimum entry level across all covered posts is 12th pass, but candidates must satisfy the exact post-wise condition of the post they applied for.
What the official notice says about merit and tie breaking
The release notice gives two important exam process points that candidates often overlook.
- The marks obtained in the main examination will be taken into consideration for determining the final order of merit.
- If there is a tie in the main examination, the candidate with lesser negative marks will be placed above others.
- If candidates are still tied after that, the elder candidate in age will be placed above others on the basis of date of birth.
This means the mains stage is not only a qualifying step. Its marks directly matter for final ranking.
Special provisions and support for candidates
The official admit card release notice states that PwD candidates having benchmark disability will be allowed compensatory time of 60 minutes, calculated at 20 minutes per hour, as per rules.
