Re: How to choose optional subjects for IAS examination

Hey buddy below I am giving you some of the tips to choose optional subjects for IAS examination


Tips to select the optional subjects

If 1-2 years is available before mains exam, a hardworking candidate might be able to finish standard text books of almost any optional subject.

But compromising GS marks for Optional preparation can also turn suicidal, and hence not advised as per the latest pattern of exam.

Don’t take an overlapping optional if you are weak in it, there is every chance that it
can turn counter productive.

Don’t take an optional subject which require extensive preparation, if the time left
before you is limited (say less than 4 months)

A scoring overlapping optional subject, though which might require substantial
preparation due to the vast nature of the syllabus can be adopted,

If you have – background/ previous exposure in the subject, or if there is adequate time left.

If you are running short of time, select an optional paper which require less time for a decent level of preparation.
