These are mere numbers which depend on various factors (for eg. the number of candidates who appear in exam, number of vacancies etc.). Nowadays competition has become inevitable part of people's lives that's the case.

See there are no census available regarding your query. So giving you a figure is impossible. But I could point out some of the features for choosing a good elective subject:

• Interest in the subject
• Aptitude for the subject
• Capacity to absorb information related to subject
• The nature of the subject and time it requires for preparation
• Size of syllabus

Consider all this point and try to find out what can be the best option for you. As you have mentioned Political Science check this points regarding this subject and you can judge the subject itself. If you find that all the factors are favorable as per your capability then go for it.
