Well dear i am quite happy to know that as a mechanical engineering student you want to join in civil services.
As your branch is listed there in the list of optional subjects.so you can take that as optional subject for your mains.but before it i will suggest you to make sure that you are comfortable with it as it has a very large syallabus.you can go for some humanities subjects like public administration,sociology.
Best of luck

Hi,As far as optional subjects you should choose for IAS mains exam being a mechanical engineering student is concern ,According to me you choose the optional subject from the humanities group. Subject like asPublic administrationHistoryPolitical scienceGeographySociologyThis subject is most popular for the ias exam. And we got the study material from the market and the internet easilyGood Luck...

dear aspirant,

first of all you have to write Civil Services exam for the post of an IAS officer. IAS stands for Indian Administration Services.

Civil Services exam constitutes three parts:
1. CSAT
2. Mains
3. Interview

there is no optional subjects for CSAT. You have to choose two optional subjects only for mains exam.

according to my point of view you must choose Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics as your optional Subjects. because you have studied these subjects in your degree course. So you must have knowledge of these subjects. It will help you in preparation and cracking the exam.

but these two subjects have large syllabus and it is considered tough subjects. If you are not comfortable with these subjects then you can choose arts subjects. From Arts subjects i will recommend you History and Public Administration. As both of subjects have short syllabus and the study material is easily available.

Good Luck.......

dear frnds,

lots of optional subjects in IAS mains but according to me you should choose optional subjects between psychology, political science, Public administration & history being a mechanical engineering student.


Thanks
