Hello sir, I want to know that can we select those subject which we have not studied in graduation for IAS exams.

HI!

Yes, of course you can select those subject which you have not studied in graduation for IAS exams.

You can select any subject/combination of subjects from the list of subjects available for the purpose as Optional Subjects for UPSC prelims & mains exam

However, the Following Combinations are NOT allowed by the UPSC

* Political Science & International relations and Pubilc Administration
* Commerce & Accountancy and Management
* Anthropopgy and Sociology
* Mathematics and Statistice
* Agriculture and Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science
* Management and Public Administration
* Any two branches of engineering
* Animal Husbandry & Veterimary Science and Mediacal Science
* Combination if two Literatures

Most probably all the candidates preparing for IAS may choose the subjects that what they have studied in their graduation. You were asking for the subjects that you haven't read in your graduation period. It is possible for IPS exams and for IAS it may be possible because all that we need is to complete our graduation and to get that graduate certificate. IAS is the next step to get into our career so usually we can select on our own intrest.
So you can choose other subjects that are connected with your graduation.

it is not necessary to select subjects studied in graduation you can select optional subjects according to your tase and ease most prefer political administration as optional one

I believe that you are aware of the change in the pattern of the Civil Services
Exam...2011 onwards there will be no optional subjects in the Prelims. In fact,
the first part of the CSE will take a different name, Civil Services Aptitude
Test (CSAT) and candidates will have to appear in two common objective type papers that will test their APTITUDE for the services while judging their
decision making ability.

It is being said that there will be no changes in the other two stages of the
Exam, at least in 2011. That being the case, like always, you will be free to
choose/select optionals that you have not studied during your graduation.
(Please refer to the website http://www.onestopias.com/exam-pattern.asp for
details on Main Exam Pattern)

dear friend,

to be eligible you have to be a graduate.

in case if you don't have subjects in IAS that you have studied in graduation then you can take any other subject.

all the best.
