UPSC Exams-General Information-FAQ-Frequently Asked questions and Free Counselling


Sir,  I am a software engineer working in a top notch s/w products company. I did B.Tech in Electronics & Communications branch. I have planned to go for History & Geography.
-  Nilofer 

Both History and Geography are fine but you have to consider the following before going for these two.

1. Both has vast syllabus

2. Both are useful in General studies

3. Both exams ( in the mains ) will be back to back or just two days gap.

4. Approach to both the subjects are different.

5. Both are general and popular optionals, it is easy to read. But Geography will
be little tougher ( Physical Geography ) than History.

6. Geography is better scoring than History.

7. Past years shows, the success ratio of Geography is three times higher than History.
8. One has to have good analytical capacity to give scientific approach to arts subject like History.

As far as Correspondence course is concerned, History has more outlets than Geography. But we suggest you to go through the previous years questions and come to a Conclusion.

Other subject for optional may be Public Administration/ Sociology/ Psychology.
