Hey Shuva

I would like to tell you that please dont choose your optional subjects by the list of the subjects that is taken by maximum candidates but on the basis of what subjects you like and want to persue. Be it history, polity, sociology or anything else the only thing that matters is how good you can be at that subject.

However over the years the subjects which have been chosen as optional by most students were psychology, literature(native language), zoology, anthropology, mathematics etc (depending on the stream you are from).

There are a few things you need to keep in mind while choosing your optional subject:

If the study material for that subject is available

If that subject will get you good scores

Your interest, aptitude and capacity

Time you need to study that subject

If the syllabus of that subject is overlapping other subjects taken by you.

hello there,i have been through some of the optional took by toppers and mostly public administration is one of the subject .

and its a remainder that whatever would be ur optional its solely depends on u some needs hugee work and some need different thinking criteria .so go with ur interest and firstly read the syllabus and understand which would be easy for u to crack and make it into the top scorers and good ranker.

all the best.
