Hi there!

Yes, you surely take them as the two optional subjects for the Mains of Civil Service.
But one thing you'd keep in mind that when you choose maths as the optional subject, the syllabus should be prepared is till graduation. In other words, you need to prepare Maths till degree level. As maths had lots of content like mechanical engineering, its like "Riding the two horses at the same time" when you choose Maths and Mechanical engineering. Don't go until you're well prepared to ride the horses.

I'd suggest someone to take easy subjects like Public administration and like that. Because Public administration only have small content to study under degree level.
I hope you know that like many do.

I wish you all SUCCESS!
