ABOUT THE HISTORY (OPT) SUBJECT :
History has always been an evergreen subject in UPSC Civil Service Examination. A good number of students taste success every year in this examination with the help of History optional and in this list majority are from non history background. But the nature of the questions of the subject has been changed drastically in last few years. So this subject has to be studied with a different approach. So now just to know the subject factually is not sufficient for the examination, it is must to understand the philosophical aspect. In last few years some minor topics were asked and emphasis on sources has been increased. The syllabus of UPSC Civil Services has also surpassed the curriculum of under graduate courses up to the master’s courses. Such approach of paper undoubtedly enhanced the reading list for the students but it could be curtailed with the smart way of reading the books and with help of good mentor.
