In the UPSC Civil Services Exam (CSE), the optional is the only type of subject that you can choose. The optional papers carry total 500 marks out of the 2025 marks in the UPSC Mains exam. So, the right optional subject selected for the UPSC mains exam is very important and impacts your performance and ranking.

There is no straight formula on how to choose right optional subject for UPSC mains exam, it is totally depends on your subject preference and interest. 

When you choose an optional paper for UPSC IAS mains exam you have to consider some factors like:

●       Your academic background and personal interest.

●       Scoring potential of the optional subject.

●       Availability of quality study materials and resources.

●       Availability of coaching institutes and guidance.

●       Analyze the performance of candidates in previous years.

●       Any overlap with the general studies (GS) papers.

●       How much time is required to prepare for the optional subject.

 

Always remember that not to choose an optional subject simply because it is popular or scored by others. Select an optional subject based on your own interests, strengths, and aptitude.
