  1. For the UPSC test, what should I study as an optional? UPSC is a challenging exam. There is neck-to-neck competition in the examination; that's why every number counts. Students lag even just by one number in making their dreams come true. That's why preparing for every subject sincerely is very important. One significant impact on the score comes from the optional subjects chosen by the aspirants. Students need to decide in which subject they can perform well. However, the question is how they will decide. So today, we are going to discuss some factors for choosing the right optional subject for the UPSC exam. Different options for optional subjects in the exam For choosing an optional subject, students get options among sociology, law, psychology, medical science, agriculture, literature, anthropology, and public administration. You can find several preparation institutes like best sociology coaching optional or law. Some of these require pre-requisite criteria, while others do not. Aspects to consider to choose the best optional subject

  2. You should focus on the following aspects to choose the best optional subject for the UPSC exam; Overlapping syllabus Aspirants already have severe pressure on their mandatory subjects. That's why they should try to get some off their shoulders by taking simple optional subjects. This will also increase their chances of getting a better score. Students should choose a subject whose syllabus gets covers other subjects also. This overlapping of topics means you will need to study less for the other subject. Moreover, grasping one overlapping topic means getting better at two subjects. Several optional subjects like Political Science, Geography, International Relations, etc., comprise topics that overlap with general studies of Prelims and Mains. So you will be able to get more syllabi covered in less time. Concise syllabus Overlapping topics will indeed reduce your load. But it's better to choose a subject with a shorter syllabus. Aspirants already have four General Studies papers to prepare for along with an essay exam determining their merit. So it will be prudent to choose a subject with a shorter syllabus as it will require less time and effort. Sociology has a small syllabus compared to others. On average, a student can complete their sociology syllabus in 4 months. Competitiveness You don't need to score well. But you need to get clear the cut-off. So you need to understand the competition. Higher competition means a higher cut-off and lower chances of clearing it. So choose a subject with less competitiveness. This will increase your success ratio. However, the primary decision will still be made on the quality of your answer. Study material availability

  3. In total, there are total 47 optional subjects to choose from. However, you need to see which subject has good resources from where you can prepare for the exam. As per the current scenario, several online and offline institutes offer quality resources to study. But still, some subjects have better researched and comprehended material than others less studied. You can easily find the best teacher for optional sociology or medical science, but finding a good teacher for regional subjects will not be easy. Moreover, these subjects are widely studied by authors, philosophers, and researchers so you can find several books written by even international experts. Basic understanding of the subject You need to see whether you are familiar with the subject or not. For example, suppose there is one subject you have already studied before, then another is entirely new. So you will find the first subject easier to study than the second. Therefore, choosing a familiar subject is better than choosing an entirely new subject. Conclusion You need to be assured about your decision to choose the right optional subject. Try to choose a subject with a shorter syllabus and you are already aware of its basics. Make sure to find ample resources for the subject before finalizing it. Try to find the best teacher for the sociology optional, law, or any other subject you choose.
