IAS 2026-27

Dear IAS Aspirants,

'When you prepare for IAS, you prepare for one of the toughest competitions conducted anywhere in the world for the selection of Civil Servants. Therefore, every single decision of yours matters a lot for your success including the selection of 'Optional Subject' which carries a huge weightage of 500 marks in the overall scheme of IAS Examination. No doubt, you need to be very careful while choosing your optional subject.

 What makes Public Administration so much popular among IAS Aspirants? 



Strategic Advantage of Public Administration 

a) Public Administration is basically Government's Administration and therefore a good command over the subject which includes 'theoretical' as well as 'applied' aspects of administration lays a firm foundation for your overall preparation of General studies.

b) Public Administration is truly an 'Interdisciplinary' subject and it brings within its purview subject matters related to polity and governance, economy, ethics, history, law and a very wide spectrum of 'Current Affairs' which in togetherness provides you with a very sound intellectual disposition wherefrom you can analyze any issue with a multi-dimensional approach.

c) Public Administration in totality covers a very large chunk of General Studies syllabus be it Prelims or Mains examination (approximately 30% to 35% in quantitative and qualitative terms) that not only reduces your burden pertaining to huge syllabus of General Studies but also imparts a significant

'competitive edge' to your performance.

d) IAS interview is not a Quiz contest and it is not what you are generally made to see in 'Mock Interviews'. The Interview Board basically aims at knowing a 'more substantive' dimension of your personality as a potential IAS officer rather than a puzzle solver. A training in Public Administration, given its nature and content, calibrates you with an administrative line of thinking which is so crucial to meet the expectations from an IAS aspirant. It has an 'irrefutable edge' over other subjects.

e) Further, it is secret to none that even after selection, as an officer you will always stand apart from others thanks to your good command over the understanding of administration and its operational dynamics.
Public Administration here clearly registers an 'advantage' over others.

f) What if the UPSC as a part of restructuring exercise decides to do away with Optional subjects as it has been done in some of the States? In that case, being a student of Public Administration, you will not incur any loss because a fairly good portion of syllabus will always remain an integral part of overall scheme of examination like Polity & Governance, Economy, Finance, Public policy, Ethics and Development dynamics and so on.
