What Are the Advantages of Choosing Geology as an Optional Subject for UPSC?
1. High Scoring & Objective Nature
- Geology is a subject with direct answers, hence, easier to score in.
2. Overlap with General Studies & Current Affairs
- Environment, climate change, natural disasters, and mineral resources are important for GS Paper I & III.
3. Useful for the Indian Forest Service (IFoS) Exam
- For IFoS too, Geology is a key optional subject which is an advantage for candidates targeting both UPSC CSE & IFoS.
4. Availability of Study Material & Coaching Support
- Ample learning material is available through standard books, NCERTs, research papers, and online resources.
5. Diminished Rivalry and Elevated Achievement Level
- Fewer individuals choose geology as a subject unlike history or political science which means high scorers are fewer in number.
