-Why choose SOCIOLOGY as your Optional in UPSC?
Most aspirants begin their UPSC journey in their early or mid twenties. It is a phase in life where you start contemplating many aspects of life. Why is it important to have a job? Is it right for my family to put restrictions in my life? How is my generation seeing love and family? We seek answers for these questions and many more. Sociology becomes a great optional subject for this very reason. It enables us to look at these fundamental questions about our own social life with depth and passion. As Sociology deals with everyday life, it is equally relatable to candidates from social science and non social science backgrounds. When we start to engage with something that's very relatable to us, learning flows effortlessly.
