Bhubaneswar, May 20: In a significant development, Odisha Government, on Tuesday, has announced the extension of application deadline for the Plus 3 (degree) admission.

The deadline, which was May 20 as per previous announcement, has been extended until June 1. The SAMS (Student Academic Management System) portal will be opened until 11:45 PM on the deadline day.
