Medium spin states of ${}^{95,97}\mathrm{Mo}\left(Z=42,N=53,55\right)$ nuclei have been investigated through the ${}^{82}\mathrm{Se}\left({}^{18}\mathrm{O},xn\right)$ reaction at $E_b=60\text{MeV}$. In ${}^{95}\mathrm{Mo}$, excited states upto $7.5\text{MeV}$ have been studied in the present experiment. A significant modification of the existing level scheme has been suggested. The negative parity level sequence of ${}^{97}\mathrm{Mo}$ has been extended to $8.6\text{MeV}$. The experimental data for both the nuclei have been compared with the theoretical results from shell model and particle rotor model calculations.
