Hii Raj

I would like to suggest in a following way

Public Administration, Geography, Sociology, History and Political science are considered as scoring optional subjects.
Don't choose subject because the topper opted or has been taken by most of your friends and all.
UPSC might be removing optional from next year(not sure).
All the best
