    dear friend,

    as you said you would like to read articles on Geography and History so you must choose these subjects as your optional subjects.

    Both subjects are consider Scoring for UPSC mains exam. Both History and geography are easy to understand and Easy to crack.

    Most of students choose history and geography as their optional subjects.


    Good Luck........

    sorry to say but there is no subject that is related to computer science

    these subjects are very popular for the civil services examination and
    considered very scoring for this examination.
