Dear Friend,
Choosing optional is highly personal choice which can be differ from person to person.
It is not necessary that the optional subject I like, will also be liked by you.
You need to research on your own in order to get the idea about the various optionals and their syllabus.
Public Administration is one of the famous subjects among IAS aspirants but it does not mean that you should opt it blindly.
Perhaps there are many other subjects which you could prefer the most.
You can choose the subject relating to your education background.
Like Commerce Graduate candidate can opt for Commerce or Management subjects for his optionals.

Some of the combinations which candidate opt for are:

Sociology - Political Science
