The Odisha Police Sub-Inspector Recruitment Examination (Paper I) is conducted by the Odisha Staff Selection Commission (OSSC) to shortlist candidates for the post of Police Sub-Inspector in Odisha Police. This Preliminary Examination tests your command over General English and the Odia language, helping you build strong language fundamentals needed for further selection stages and a secure government career.
| Section | Questions | Marks | Weightage |
|---|---|---|---|
| General English | ~50 | ~100 | 50% |
| Odia Language | ~50 | ~100 | 50% |
| Total | 100 | 200 | 100% |
No negative marking makes practice and accuracy-focused attempts even more important during the test.
Start with a daily routine: 30–40 minutes for General English (grammar + vocabulary) and 30–40 minutes for Odia (rules + usage). Practice with timed sets to improve accuracy without rushing, and revise the most-asked grammar patterns repeatedly. Use previous question patterns to learn common distractors, especially in error spotting and sentence correction. Finally, attempt this practice test to identify weak areas and focus revision accordingly.
