One should be very careful while opting for optional subjects.
If I suggest to opt for the scoring subjects, the following subjects can be chosen. Firstly, Social Work is very scoring and its syllabus is very concise and to the point. Secondly, Punjabi with Social Work is very scoring combination. Besides these subjects, following combination will be helpful in securing higher marks;
1. Public Administration, Social Work and Geography
2. Punjabi, Social Work and Geography
3. Punjabi, Social Work and Public Administration
Sometimes students choose that subject in which they did masters. Same is the case with me I opted for Economics because I did masters in it. So my advice is that if I one has good command over his subject then that subject can be opted. As the law graduate can select Law. Sociology in the PMS is discouraged because of its lengthy syllabus.
