Odisha Police Constable study guide
Odisha Police Constable · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Odisha Police Constable Examination is the entry route into the uniformed constabulary of the Odisha Police - a state government law-enforcement post involving police-station and field duty, patrolling, law-and-order support and assistance in investigations. Selection is not a single paper: candidates clear a written objective test, then a Physical Measurement Test (PMT), a Physical Efficiency Test (PET), a medical examination and document verification. The Odisha Police Constable study guide has 7 sections and about 1,991 words.
01General Knowledge and Current Affairs
General Knowledge and Current Affairs tests awareness of India’s constitutional and political system, geography, economy, science, defence, awards, sports, and schemes, plus Odisha-specific developments from roughly the last year. The paper rewards stable static anchors and disciplined current-affairs revision, not random fact collection.
280 words, about 1 min02Odisha General Knowledge
Odisha General Knowledge covers the state’s ancient and medieval history, freedom movement, geography, art and culture, and constitutional-political structure. Questions often test a named dynasty, river, festival, dance form, district, or institution, so precise association matters more than broad description.
266 words, about 1 min03Reasoning and Mental Ability
Reasoning and Mental Ability tests logical thinking through verbal and non-verbal items: analogies, classification, series, coding-decoding, blood relations, directions, syllogisms, clocks and calendars, seating, and pattern completion. The exam expects quick pattern recognition with a written trace, not guesswork.

Arithmetic and Numerical Ability tests school-level numerical competence: number system, HCF and LCM, percentage, ratio and proportion, average, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, time and work, speed and distance, mensuration, and data interpretation. Speed comes from choosing the shortest valid method and keeping units consistent.
296 words, about 1 min05English Language
English Language assesses grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, and usage through error spotting, sentence improvement, fill-in-the-blanks, synonyms and antonyms, idioms, spelling, and reading comprehension. The goal is standard written English, so choose the option that is grammatically complete and idiomatically natural.
