However as you are a Geography Honours student so you should must choose Geography as first optional subject.

You should choose the second optional subject also from Humanities subjects, as they can be prepared easily with understanding in given time frame.

So you should chose the second subject as History or Political science or Public Administration.

Good luck and work hard on whatever subject you choose....

dear friend,

you can choose Geography and Indian History as optional subjects for UPSC Mains.
as both the subjects are easy to understand and easy to crack.


Good Luck.........

hi

**as an optional subject ,you choose subject in which you are familiar with or should have studied at least in graduation level..

*do not choose subject as an optional in which you are not comfortable.

**when come to the interest of the subject,choose that subject where you can go with study material available in the store .

*as you know that even an engineering and science students choose history,geography,political science,anthropology ,political science because of the availability of the study material

*you should be in touch with subject which will make you more confident(revision also require)

*you know there is tough competition among the same subject right,

*seek help from the previous year question papers and seek advice from the seniors/fellow mate who are good in the subject

*this all depends on the time spend by you to it and your interest towards subjects

Hi Aspirant

Well as you said you are a geography Honours student

So better would be to choose the subjects of your field

Or choose the subjects in which you have interest

And the subjects which you likes most

And you have to choose the geography subject as optional subject

And choose the subject with your choice this would be good

Because once you have choose the subjects then you can't change them

So choose the subjects in which you are strong

Best of luck

as you are a graduate in geography (honors) ,geography will your first option for the MAINS EXAMINATION for sure .
it is the second subject you have to think about ?????

Main Exam Optional Subjects
Agriculture, Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science,
Anthropology, Botany, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Commerce and Accountancy,
Economics, Electrical Engineering, Geography,
Geology, History, Law, Management, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering,
Medical Science, Philosophy, Physics,
Political Science and International Relations, Psychology,
Public Administration, Sociology, Statistics, Zoology.

well you can chose any subject out of the above written subjects but my suggestion to you is
you must go for some easier and scoring subject so that you can put your full effort to your main subject.
arts subjects like history,sociology are a bit scoring subjects .

The choice of subject depends on your area of interest.

You should have good hands on the subjects you choose.

Since you have honors in geography so you can choose geography as one of your optional subject.

It is better if you choose the second subject related to your graduation or 12th subjects.

But you must be aware of the subjects you choose.

In case of confusion select some subject you would like to choose.

Solve previous papers of the subjects

This will help you to take decision which subject to choose.

Recommend standard books of the subject.

All the best!
