The Strategy for selecting optional subjects comes only when you are into second stage of the examination

i.e., actually you have three stages

->Preliminary examination (CSAT)

->Mains Examination

->Personal Interview

Now the selection should be in this way

you should give the max importance to your

interest because you have to spend a lot of time in studying your selected

subjects if you don't have interest in what you have selected then

it will become mere waste in ..you will be suffered with boredom so don't listen anyone's suggestion go through the syllabus and topics of each and every optional

select the subject in which you are most attracted and have a 80% interested topics in the syllabus

this is how you have to select the optionals

this should be your target and you have to rock the preparation time interestingly not boringly

so, if you are interested in any optional select it

even if every one says it as the toughest one ..

this is all the opinion of my friends who are preparing for the same

Take the guidance of successful and unsuccessful candidates

and make a best choice

civil service examination is held in the month of May or June there are the “Preliminary examinations”. In this examination, there are two papers. The papers are on:

1. General Studies (150 marks)
2. Some optional subject (300 marks)

After successful completion of preliminary exam you move on to next round "MAIN Exam" and then final round "PERSONAL interview", to be a part of civil service department.

But preliminary Exam syllabus is HUGE and vague, as listed below. But don't worry good time managed study leads one to success.

“Some optional subject” paper:

You can choose from the following subjects:
