Hello Kesavan!

Both Anthropology and Sociology are two of the particularly popular elective courses. When it comes to sociology, it has more number of takers as compared to Anthropology. More applicants appear to believe that sociology is preferable optional. The curriculum is somewhat shorter and is easy to comprehend. It is more famous among humanities grads since it contains less science than anthropology. It also aids in writing essays.

Anthropology,on the other hand is a preferable option for science students, particularly those with a background in biology. Students with science background find it more scoring. Writing abilities aren't as crucial in anthropology as they are in sociology.

Before selecting the optional,make sure to go through the syllabus and then opt considering the subject you are more comfortable in.

All the best!
