dear guest,
to be an introvert is not a criteria to pass the exam but to possess a leadership quality you must well behaved and a good command on your language & no doubt a strong I.Q level.Try to adopt those if anyone is missing from your character.
To be good in Essays,you should write and explain all the explainatory part of the sample paper.If possible ,you should write various articles in the newspapers & take part in many writing competitions.
maths is no doubt a scoring subject.
Yes, physics & electronics also is a good combination & available also.
yes, electronics is available for optional.

Hello Friend,
For UPSC Civil Services Exam you will have to choose two optional subjects and the list subjects are available at www.upsc.gov.in.
For your information i would like to tell you that electronics, physics and mathematics are available for optional subjects for mains exam.
you can choose any two of them. Yes mathematics is a scoring subject in IAS exam. Ypu can choose physics and electronics also.
For mastering in essays, read newspaper and magazines and try to write articles in newspapers and magazines and try to write on any topic in which you are interested or any current topic going on.
If you will labour hard in studies and most important thing is that be honest with your studies.
Good Luck.

It depends on your Interest..

according to me as an analyser..

if you're an intelegent person then go with Psychology and Public Administration.

if you're an above average person then go with Sociology and public administration..

I termed here Intelligent and above average brains because..

psychology is not that easy to understand

you need to have lot of interest regarding that subject

and good IQ

and peak level grasping power..

totally you should be sharp..

if you're so then go with it

orelse don't take risk...

all the best

make a wise decision..
