Hello,
If you want to appear in IES examination, you should follow the Mechanical Branch syllabus. But if you want to appear in IAS/IPS exam then you can take subjects through any stream, with Science stream you can take Physics, Maths/Biology and chemistry, in arts you can take Psychology, Sociology, History, Political Science etc.

The optional selection should be done based up on your interest

things to be remembered as a mechanical student

you have the optional subjects which are related to your branch i.e., Mechanical and Electrical

but there is a limitation for you i.e., you have to select only one optional Engineering subject

The Mechanical student mostly selects Mechanical and Public Administration

or Mechanical and Psychology

or Mechanical and Mathematics

In this way most of Mechanical student optional selection

There is no neccessity to choose mechanical for sure if you are not interested in selecting mechanical then you may ignore this subject and select what subject you want

All the optionals available for you are as follows

Mathematics
Agriculture
Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science

Chemistry
Civil Engineering
Commerce
Economics
Electrical Engineering
Geography
Geology

Law
Mathematics
Management
Mechanical Engineering
Medical Science
Philosophy
Physics
Political Science
Psychology
Public Administration

You can select any of the optional as you're interested there is no compulsion at all

Friend,
As you are a mechanical engineering student,according to me the best subject combination for you to choose will be a science subjct and an arts subjct.
You can be thorough with PHYSICS contents,as you are more prone to it and it wont affect your schedule much.
as the other option,I advice you to choose PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION as it is a highly scoring subject and also keeps you in pace with the way the union works.HISTORY can also be a good option.
Gd Luck.
