Reference of Ganesh's ias, 

The Civil Services Examination requires every candidate to choose at least two optional subjects, one for the Preliminary test and another two for the Main Examination. It is here the candidate faces problems, as he does not know the nature of the subjects. We as a professional institute provide you an idea about the subjects.
