Importance of Anthropology as an Optional: Anthropology is considered as one of the scoring subjects in CSE Mains examination. Further, it is easy to grasp, has a short syllabus, and over the time, there have been direct and repeating questions. Rather than scoring, it also have certain benefits in other G.S. papers - overlapping with GS - Society, Social issues, Tribal issues, Governance, Essay and Ethics. Preparation of Anthropology helps in preparation of society and social justice (GS I, II) and welfare of weaker section of society (GS ll) under Tribal Development topic; in the Essay Paper, tribal dimensions can be quoted in a better way; in Ethics’ case studies, tribal issues can be better handled; and in GS lll, Internal Security issue can be better understood. Also, a good portion of biotechnology and biology will also be covered.
Optional subjects have become the deciding factor in getting an interview call. Though UPSC has introduced four GS papers to give a level playing field to all, the dynamic and unpredictable questions of GS papers defeated the purpose and made Optional paper the magic wand. The toppers’ score also tells it loudly that optional subjects play a defining role in determining the selection of the candidates.
So, overall this book is an ideal companion for you going to appear for the Mains examination. To help the aspirants to get acclaimed with the pattern and trend of the exam, this book is a valuable gift to our readers.
