IASbaba ONLINE Programme, IASbaba's OPTIONAL Classes, Important Updates, Sociology
Why should I choose Sociology as an optional subject?
Written (1750) + Personality Test (275):
- Out of 1750, the Optional weighs 500 marks.
- Out of the remaining 1250, 75 Marks in GS 1 (Society) + 50 Marks in GS 2 (Social Justice)
- Apart from that, some direct and indirect help in GS 3, GS 4, Essay and Personality Tests.
- To conclude, Sociology helps explicitly and implicitly helps in Essay + GS Paper 1 + GS Paper 2 + GS Paper 3 + Ethics (Helps)+ Optional (500), including Personality Tests.
- Overlap with GS papers: Especially GS 1 (society), GS 2 (social justice), and Essay.
