Hello aspirant!

I would like to inform you that, it is actually the approach of a student that defines his success to be an IAS rather than the stream. I totally agree that the stream selection increases probability of success.
The stream of Humanities have certainly have an edge over other streams. History, Public Administration, Political Science, Geography, Psychology, Sociology, Economics etc form the major syllabus of General Studies’ papers.

Hence, one can see an obvious advantage for a student with Humanities background.
