Of-course Dear, Chemistry is scoring subject for UPSC Mains, because if you answered right than you will got full marks but if you answere wrong it will be Zero. Its also good to prepare for Chemistry than other subjects. Its as same as maths subject...if its answer is right than you get full otherwise it is zero...

Well put, sir, well put. I'll certailny make note of that.

We can't estimate scoring subjects in UPSC mains examinations.
The selection of subject and working hard to achieve success depends on you.
If you studied Chemistry as optional stream then better to give option as Chemistry as one of the option.
If you do not interested/idea regarding subject then do not take chemistry as optional subject.
