Optional needs in-depth specific knowledge, and coaching will undoubtedly assist you in carefully covering the syllabus. Anthropology, unlike other topics such as Public Administration, Political Science, and others, where recent events must also be reported and studied, is brief and static. You will discover themes such as marriage, kinship, evolution, prehistoric societies, and so on in this optional. These topics only require mugging and retention. The subject is fascinating and will retain your attention because it incorporates science, social science, history, biology, and other topics.
In recent years, a substantial number of Civil Services Exam candidates have chosen Anthropology as an optional subject. Although the number of candidates who choose Anthropology is still lower than those who choose popular optional topics such as History, Geography, and Public Administration, Anthropology has one of the best success rates.
