I have passed 10th board from icse where odia was my 2nd language but in opsc they are asking for certificate to be issued by principal but my board marksheet is issued and signed by icse authorities not principal . In this case do i have to make a letter head signed by my school principal?
Help pls.
Opsc follows a different pattern than upsc does. So, how many pages for 15 markers and how many for 20 markers should i fill ideally? Please help me with this.
Hey everyone! Hope you are doing good. I passed my 12th in 2014 and then joined diploma in mining engineering eventually getting a job in a core psu with good salary. It was a dream of mine to join civil services for which I recently joined a online ugc approved graduation and I will be graduating in 2027 at age 29. I was already preparing so that I can appear in 2027 but the job pressure, family pressure, wife’s pregnancy keeping away me from studying . My job is draining my daily productivity hours and when I came home I have to look after my wife as there is no one for her to take care.
In the middle of all this I think I should quit preparing, I mean what is the point of preparation if I can’t even study properly. It’s better to stop now though it’s hurt me a lot, pains my heart. The dream once I saw as a child is slowly falling due to the responsibilities I have now.
Good Bye friends. I hope that you all achieve what you dreamed of.

i am actually preparing for upsc cse but now im thinking of appearing for opsc aso as well . can any one suggest some good resources for odia ,especially a good playlist on youtube ?
Do you guys only prepare specifically for opsc or you prep for upsc with odisha specific parts? And do offline coaching have exclusive courses or they do the same as above? I think preparing specifically for opsc and aiming for it is a wiser choice as I feel upsc is a bigger gamble? Thoughts?
Did anyone watch those analysis videos of GS 1 and GS 2? I don't think anyone in odisha has analysed PYQs like him. I was blown away.
I have studied Odia till 8th. Till 7th I was in DPS and from 8th to 10th I was in another school.
OPSC asks for middle level/class 7 pass certificate. So, i need to get this certificate from school that i had passed in the subject.
Which class certificate should i get? 7th class from 1st school or 8th class from 2nd school?
If anyone knows anything regarding the opsc mains exam date or in which week of october it will be conducted? Also, any idea regarding the release of notification?
Jay Jagannath,
I’m preparing for UPSC and need guidance on clearing Paper A (Odia).
My Background: CBSE schooling with Odia up to Class 10. I can speak and read Odia fine, but my formal writing speed, vocabulary, and grammar are rusty.
Since it’s qualifying (75/300 marks), I want an efficient strategy without over-investing time.
Could anyone who has cleared or prepared for this share:
* Recommended Books: Standard grammar books (e.g., Odia Sahitya Vyakaran Class 9/10) or specific guidebooks for Paper A?
* Coverage & Practice:
* Essay (100M): Best source for formal/technical vocabulary?
* Precis & Comprehension (120M): Tips to improve summarization and writing speed in Odia script?
* Translation (40M): Recommended sources for English-Odia translation practice?
* Grammar (30M): High-yield topics to target?
* PYQs: Are past 5–10 years' PYQs enough to pass safely?
Any book names, tips, or resource links would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!
