Scheme of optional papers is entirely different in PCS as compared to CSS exam, Please tell how candidates should choose their optional subjects in PCS and what are the ways to get high marks in optional papers?
Well, I will not recommend subjects like literature, history, social sciences, sociology, social work, political science, etc, because they are generally low scoring. One should opt for subjects like geography, geology, journalism, international relations and psychology as these are comparatively high scoring and not as much difficult as pure sciences, but still personal liking and aptitude counts a lot. Furthermore, I would suggest that in order to get high marks in optional subjects, one should avoid cramming and have a conceptual study because questions are never asked in straight forward manner.
Any message
Always be obedient to your parents no matter whatever high position you get in life and always love your country because whatever BCS, CSP, PSP, DMG we are, it is all only because of Pakistan.
