Why the Dhenkanal seat opened again and who got it
The refusal
In the 4th supplementary result (12.10.2026), Shri Raj Kumar Dey of Dhenkanal Division (Roll No. 252006, UR) got the Dhenkanal seat. He declined the promotion on 13.10.2026. So 1 UR Postman seat in Dhenkanal was empty again.
The 5th supplementary list (Annexure-I)
The Circle Office checked the next candidates in merit order, along with the divisions they had chosen:
| Candidate | Division | Roll No. | Category | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sonali Rout | RMS BG | 253027 | UR | Not selected – no vacancy in divisions opted |
| Prachi Priyadarshini Tripathy | RMS K | 252918 | UR | Not selected – no vacancy in divisions opted |
| Bibekananda Sahoo | Sambalpur | 251701 | UR | Not selected – no vacancy in divisions opted |
| Akash Kumar Sahoo | Phulbani | 252501 | UR | Selected – allotted Dhenkanal (UR) |
Akash Kumar Sahoo scored 112 in Paper I and II, 41 in Paper III and 25 in DEST.

Important rules every selected candidate must know
Join within 7 days
- Not joining the Postman post within 7 days of the order counts as a refusal.
- If you are on leave, give your consent in writing. You can join after your leave ends.
- Your controlling officer must relieve you quickly.
Refusing promotion has a cost
- After a refusal, you cannot get a new promotion offer for one year.
- Divisions will check this before issuing any promotion order.
Selection is provisional
- Your eligibility, category and documents will be checked by your division.
- Any pending disciplinary or vigilance case must be reported to the Circle Office first.
- Provisional candidates will not be promoted until their candidature is regularised.
- If any error or ineligibility is found later, the name will be removed.
Other points
- No request to change the allotted division or cadre will be accepted.
- Equal marks are ranked as per Directorate rules.
Key dates
- Promotion orders to be issued by divisions: 14.10.2026
- Refusals (if any) to be sent to Circle Office: 21.10.2026
Why this matters for you
The same Dhenkanal seat has now changed hands three times in one week. This shows how fast the merit list moves when people refuse promotion. If your name is on the merit list, keep checking Odisha Circle notices every day.
Two simple lessons:
- Pick your divisions wisely. Three candidates above Akash Kumar Sahoo missed the seat because Dhenkanal was not in their choices.
- Think before you refuse. A refusal blocks your next promotion offer for one year.
