How important is PYQ analysis for OPSC Prelims? Any patterns found?

I have been told that analyzing previous year questions (PYQs) is very important for OPSC. But are the questions repeated or just the topics? Which topics show up every single year in OPSC Prelims GS Paper 1? Would love a topic-wise frequency breakdown.

Topics repeat far more than exact questions. Year after year you will see: Odisha temple architecture, Indian polity fundamental rights, environment/biodiversity, and basic economy terms. Do a topic-wise frequency table from the last 8 years — Odisha geography and culture alone is ~20% of the paper.
