PSIR Optional - FRC 15

The real issue with PSIR is getting overwhelmed by the vast syllabus while trying to keep up with General Studies. To master it effectively, keep these three things in mind:


1. Focus on Overlap: PSIR has a huge overlap with GS2 and GS4. Treat these as one unit to save time.

2. The 60/40 Rule: During your foundation phase, spend about 60% of your time on the optional and 40% on GS and current affairs. This prevents you from falling behind on the core syllabus.

3. Consistency: Don't let your GS preparation stop just because you are deep-diving into political theory.\n
