    dear friend,

    you can choose mathematics and Mechanical Engineering as Optional Subjects in UPSC mains.

    as both subjects are related to mechanical engineering..so these are helpful for you in UPSC exams.




    Good Luck.........

    Dear Aspirant,
    - The MAINS EXAMS of the CIVIL SERVICES are conducted in OCTOBER & NOVEMBER by the UPSC.

    � Having completed Your Bachelors in Engineering in Mechanical Engineering,I WOULD PERSONALLY RECOMMEND THAT THE BEST OPTION FOR YOU IS TO CHOOSE
    "MECHANICAL ENGINEERING" and "AN ARTS SUBJECT".
    This might just be the PERFECT COMBINATION for you.


    � Studying Mechanical Engineering for a period of four years,you will not find tough to deal with it at all.
    With a little bit of polishing,You might just get perfect in it,which would help you attend the subjective questions in the Mains exams.


    � As for the SECOND Optional Subject,the Main reason to ask you to go for the ARTS Subjects is that they are PARTICULARLY VERY SCORING.

    -The subjects such as PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION,INDIAN HISTORY,POLITICAL SCIENCE & GEOGRAPHY have helped students score very high marks and achieve success way better than the other subjects.

    -These subjects also form the core of the PAPER-I of the PRELIMINARY EXAMS,which will help you prepare for both the Premiums and the Mains,simultaneously.
    Thus,saving a lot of time.

    -HOWEVER,THE FINAL CALL IS YOURS.
    Choose,subjects based only upon your interests and eagerness to study.Only then will you be able to fetch good results.
    TAKE YOUR TIME and MAKE THE BEST CALL.

    -For any details,including the LIST of subjects and others,regarding the CIVIL SERVICE exams,visit the OFFICIAL WEBSITE of the UPSC : www.upsc.gov.in

    ALL THE BEST.

    $$$$$$$$ Hi Friend!! $$$$$$$$

    UPSC is
    Union Public Service Commission which conducts many exams in which Civil Service Exam(CSE) is one of the them.

    The most
    popular misnomer of the CSE is 'IAS Exam' or 'UPSC Exam'.

    The choice of optional subject
    depends on your personal interest itself.

    But I'd suggest someone to go with
    Public Administration as its less content to study.

    You can have a look at the list of optional subjects at
    http://www.upsc.gov.in/general/civil.htm#CS (Main)

    Re: Which optional subjects should I choose for UPSC mains exam being a Mechanical engineering student?

    dear ,

    it is fully depend on you that which subject do you like most and which subject do you want to take as optional subject in mains examination.

    but if you want advice than i tell you that as you are a graduate with mechanical engineering than you have to take mechanical engineering as your first optional subject and for second optional subject you have to take political science /sociology.

    but you have other choices also.


    see the attachment for more subjects which you can take as second optional subject.

    Hi...friend
    You can choose optional subjects as engineering mathematics,
    your mechanical subject and engineering physics
    I would like to say is ..you must concentrate on upsc common subjects
    as like Indian history,economics and politics
    These are the common to every upsc exam
    And also you have to concentrate on the concepts like
    reasoning subjects and numerical and also english
    The one and only other common subject is general awareness of all topics
    any way good luck...

    Re: Which optional subjects should I choose for UPSC mains exam being a Mechanical engineering student?

    Hi Aspirant

    Upsc is conducting the civil services exam

    Every year and the exam is also one of the most

    Difficult and infact highest difficult test

    And for the exam first their is pre exam and then the mains

    And the mains exam is very much difficult because their so much students are attempting the exam

    But only few students get success and after the mains exam their is Interview

    And from the point of optional subjects it is depend on you

    As once you will choose the optional subjects then you can't change them

    So you have to choose the optional subjects your self

    But normally the arts subjects are very good and scoring subjects

    But choose the subjects with your own choice

    Best of luck
