The Optional Subject for the Civil Services Examination plays a critical role in determining a candidate’s success, and choosing the right subject can significantly influence one’s overall score. The UPSC allows candidates to select from 48 Optional subjects which includes 26 core subjects and 22 literature optional, and it is essential to opt for one that aligns with your interests, strengths, and future aspirations. Among the most popular and scoring subjects are Sociology, Public Administration, and Anthropology, all of which are offered by Democrat IAS.
Each of these subjects has a well-defined and comprehensive syllabus, and their content is highly relevant to both the Prelims and Mains stages of the UPSC exam. Here’s a breakdown of each subject and how Democrat IAS helps students navigate these syllabi effectively:
Sociology

It covers topics such as social structure, social change, family systems, and issues related to Indian society, polity, and governance.

Public Administration

The syllabus includes topics such as the role of the Indian Administrative System, its various functions, and contemporary issues in Indian polity and governance.
