OPSC OAS Prelims: How many questions come from Odia language and literature?

I am a non-Odia medium student preparing for OPSC Prelims. Roughly how many questions in General Studies Paper 1 come from Odia language, literature, and culture? Is there a specific weightage? Any tips for non-Odia medium candidates?

Odia language + literature + culture together is roughly 12-15 questions in GS Paper 1. As a non-Odia medium student, do not try to master literature — focus on the high-yield culture and modern history portion and treat literature as a bonus. The state board Odia textbooks (translated notes are floating around in Telegram groups) are enough.
