Choosing an Optional Subject

Choosing an Optional Subject

Many candidates ask me through mail on Optional Subjects, And I Always have only This Answer

Optional Subjects play a critical role in securing good score in the Main Examination, this is the most common thing that every aspirant knows. There are some more basic things which any one who is preparing for the Civil Services must consider ,


Deciding Subjects should be truly on their strength in the same, Not because there is a Popular Quote saying 'It has good Scoring records from past' . I have seen a lot of people carrying the statistics saying Pub Ad is scoring, History and geography are less scoring, Kannada Litt is better than others. I would say None of these are actually true. If you master any Subject and develop good writing Skills in that, None can hold you back from Scoring.
I have been repeatedly saying from my other posts in the blog that Choosing an optional Subject should be made only on ones interest in the subject.
Some subjects might be lengthy or may not have good scoring statistics, but that doesn't mean no one can achieve good scores by choosing such subjects, You can be an exception by trying it .

Optional subjects are a matter of Personal Choice, Do not decide them on a Public forum.

Before choosing Just look at the syllabus and see If you are comfortable with that and then go for it.
There was a popular Quote ' If Some one has done it Then you can also Do It, If No one has done it Then YOU MUST DO IT '
