Idk if anyone here will believe it or not, but I'll be scoring like 25-30 marks in the optional paper this year. I had 0 optional preparation and geography has such huge syllabus 😅. Although my GS papers went decent, my optional was a total disaster. I can only imagine what the examiner must be thinking while checking my copy 😅 like how on earth did this guy clear prelims. Edit- Thats why I agree with the point mentioned in the video that focus on your glaring weakness - if you are scoring 220 in optional (in my case 22 😂)

Hardcore, but I don't think it'll be that bad. And yes, focusing on geography right now might be the best idea.

I think aapko vahi subject optional mein lena chahiye jo aapke liye interesting ho jisse aap bore na ho Kabhi bhi.ulta aapko gs k liye time nikaalna pade ki bhyi abhi gs bhi karna hai. Optional special frnd hota hai jisme jitna time invest karoge vo utna hi loyal hoga tumahri taraf and gs like envyee frnd jo time paas hote hein..... Kyonki aise frnd sbke hote hein. Agar geography aapka aisa subject hai to hi lena optional mein otherwise kuch or dekho.vese marks k behalf par to lgta nahi ye aapka fav. Subject hai. 😂

Geography is my optional also and I am able to devote 80% of the time to it. Also agriculture and many other parts help in gs3 and prelims. So I think the cost benefit ratio is also high.

@@Happiness-z9v I completely agree. When I started the preparation, I didn't know the pros and cons of the subjects. I chose geography thinking it'll be a static "just learn and vomit" kind of subject. But as it turns out, it's not. I am not in a position to change my optional just yet, all my notes are already prepared. I'll have to risk it for one more attempt. But ofcourse I'll never recommend this subject to anyone else 😅

@@Prakashkumar-dn3il I cleared prelims primarily coz of geography. It has huge overalap with multiple subjects. But I don't think the cost benefit is there, the syllabus is infinite, ill defined and very broad. Scoring 270+ in geography is a huge challenge. Especially in paper 2. So prelims and GS shouldn't be a factor in choosing the optional, and the "interest" part fades away when you are asked to learn hundreds of pages of pure text 🙂🙂

Good evening sir , I had a question while filling the form of UPSC caste. Sir, my father was employed in PSU as an engineer and my mother is housewife. In 2022 my father passed away at age 54. When he was in service i was coming under creamy layer but now since he is no more, am i eligible for OBC-NCL. And one more thing is that now our gross income is only from other sources (interest from bank deposit) which exceeds 8 lakh. My mother files the ITR. So am I eligible for OBC-NCL.
