One of the toughest decisions to be made by UPSC Civil Services aspirants is regarding the choice of optional subjects. Experts say that while there is no 'right' optional for the examination in general, there is always a right optional for the candidate—and the choice has a major impact on the total score of the candidate.

Familiarity with the list of optional subjects and syllabus, and the candidate's area of interest are important while taking the decision, but there are also other variables to be considered seriously here. To help candidates in their choices and preparation, Manorama Yearbook Online is organising a free webinar on ‘Strategies for Choosing Optional Subjects’ on July 11, from 3pm to 4pm.

The session, the fifth in the series of webinars hosted by YB Online, will be presented by Anupama TV IAS, director of Kerala State Department of Women and Child Development.
