Hii Raj
I would like to suggest in a following way
- Public Administration, Geography, Sociology, History and Political science are considered as scoring optional subjects.
- Don't choose subject because the topper opted or has been taken by most of your friends and all.
- UPSC might be removing optional from next year(not sure).
- All the best
