Why Choose Mathematics as an Optional Subject for UPSC?
1. Highly Scoring Subject
- Unlike the humanities subjects, the answers are precise and objective which reduces the chances for subjectivity in marking them.
- A well-prepared candidate can score 300+ out of 500 with ease.
2. Fixed Syllabus
- The syllabus for Mathematics is static, unlike other subjects such as Political Science or Geography.
3. No Dependence on Current Affairs
- Candidates do not have to memorize yearly trends or political circumstances as Math is logical and formula-based.
4. No Duplication with GS Papers
- This does not overlap with General Studies (GS); however, for engineers, physicists, and mathematicians who understand the subject, it is an optional paper that is safe enough, unlike other subjects.
