Should I choose Political Science and International Relations (PSIR) as an elective for UPSC CSE?
Political Science is an interesting subject. Philosophy and objectivity are well mixed. It is also highly dynamic, dealing with everyday events on a local and global level. Your interest is the first criterion for choosing an optional offer. Few students pass the UPSC CSE on the first try. You have to study electives several times. So the first criterion is interesting in the topic.
