Sociology is very easy to understand, and the topics covered in it are related to the society that we are a part of. And you can secure very good marks in all these subjects.

Public administration and geography are the best subjects that can fetch more marks in the IAS exam. If we look at the past few years, most of the people have been scoring 350+ marks in public administration.
