Classified against Detailed Syllabus, Paper-I (General Studies), under 'SCHEDULE-III [(Vide Rule 4(5))] Scheme and subjects for the Examination' of the Odisha Civil Services (Combined Competitive Recruitment Examination) Rules, 1991. The seven-item Paper-I syllabus text was introduced verbatim by the Odisha Civil Services (Combined Competitive Recruitment Examination) Amendment Rules, 2012 (G.A. Department Notification No. 2917-GAD-SC-RULES-0024/2012/GAD dated 31.01.2013, published in The Odisha Gazette Extraordinary No. 215, Cuttack, Thursday, 31 January 2013) and was left untouched by the subsequent Odisha Civil Services (Combined Competitive Recruitment Examination) Amendment Rules, 2015 (Notification No. GAD-SC-RULES-0020-2015-13962/Gen dated 5 June 2015, which amended other rules/schedule notes but not the Paper-I subject list). The identical Paper-I text is also reproduced on page 1 of OPSC's own consolidated 'Syllabi for the Odisha Civil Services (Main) Examination' PDF (filename ocs-2015-syllabus.pdf), which carries the full Prelims Schedule-II/III scheme ahead of the Mains subject syllabi.
