    Hi hrishant,there is no reason that you can’t go for geology in civils also and this is better strategy, but only caveat is that you have to study hard and u can’t leave any topic (which in case of Ifs/ifos, you Might afford to do so).Second reason was that my civils optional was more or less prepared, so I didn’t took of taking geology in both.

    My suggestion would be if you are comfortable in geology then go for it in both civils and iFS without any doubt.

    Greeting Vipul! Can you please enlighten us why you didn’t choose geology for mains also. I am confused as to why you would study an extra optional subject when its contribution is not much in mains upsc. I too am planning to appear for both civils & forest services. Your answer can extremely help me in deciding my optionals. At present I am going ahead with geology & forestry for forest exam and geology for mains.

    I choose geology ,because I had no option to choose any other optional.
    For more idea about optionals,ForumIAS would publish how to choose optionals.
    I had sociology as my optional in civils.

  18. Hi vipul bhaiyya,

    Congratulations. May I call u ? If u dn’t mind . Please.
