Hello,

UPSC has not notified the changes till now. So, I don't think that they will do this year. They might do it from next year but it will be notified well in advance. And don't believe in rumours.

Well dear upsc was planning to remove the optional subjects from mains but as far as this year they have not done anything like that.
They have already removed the optional subject from the prelims.
If they remove it from mains also then they will introduce common papers which will be compulsary to every one.
Best of luck

dear now UPSC have not any change in optional subjects. So, you will have to choose that subjects which UPSC mention for mains exams.
