  • Again, in the UPSC- Civil Services interview, some questions are asked about international relations irrespective of your academic background

WHO SHOULD CHOOSE POLITICAL SCIENCE AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS?

  • Interest: Interest in a particular subject should be given top priority while deciding on an optional subject. If you are having interested in political science, you can go for it. 
  • Background: If you are not having any educational background in a technical subject and wish to opt for a non-technical subject, you must go for political science & IR as an optional subject. Many of the topics will also overlap with your GS syllabus of civil services examination. 
  • In case you choose any other optional subject, then also, you would have to read considerable amount of PSIR chapters in Indian Polity, Ethics, History, current affairs, etc.
  • If you are left with lesser time, it is advisable to opt for PSIR. It will reduce your burden and will save your time.

IS POLITICAL SCIENCE AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS A SCORING SUBJECT?

Many candidates are opting for PSIR as their optional based on the success ratio that this subject has to offer. Many candidates have been able to score 300+ in PSIR and many have managed to bag top ranks. However, UPSC does not discriminate between any of its optional subjects and one should consider his/her interest a top priority while choosing an optional.
