I am planning to switch my optional.
Anthropology earlier. Got 263(2017), 281(2018), 217(2019).
My last attempt totally went down the drain due to anthro despite having decent gs+ essay scores. I didn't expect this low score in anthro and worst part is I got to know it 1 year post mains. This year also p1 is like too tough. I am feeling outlook for anthropology very gloomy, due to fact that every second person is taking it , upsc is hell bent on butchering it.
Since notification is around, and have very less time. Is it good decision to give up optional. In case, is there any optional that can be covered in this gap till next attempt. I'm thinking PSIR or Sociology???
psir is next in the butcher lane (or already there)
Thinking of giving UPPSC this time too so trying to figure out something there too.
Meanwhile, I am working on the blog content to make it good enough so that I myself read it.
Suggestions are welcome.

I'm writing again. The lockdown reinvigorated the love for writing that had been lost into oblivion during the preparation. Now I just want to keep it alive notwithstanding anything. I realised that it completes me. As of now, I am working on an open-editorial.
I don't know why but I don't feel like going back to books till 15th February. Also, I'm trying to learn more about my home state. I realised that I know very little about my own place.
So I started MA in History from JNU a couple of days back.(engineering graduate) and to be honest, I realised how pathetically lazy engineering professors are😂😂.
Do you guys remember that feeling back in school when you felt teachers actually give a damn about what's going on in your mind? The desire to impress a teacher through your work, to earn praise from him/her, to share your opinion with them. God it's just been a week, and I'm as giddy as a schoolboy.
Yes civil services is still the endgame, and yes JNU faculty is most definitely politically opinionated ( averse to mine) but this week has been one of inspiration, and a renewed vigour in life. God bless you all💟

Sure, sir. Will do.
I am actually confused it would be of great help if some suggest if I should go for PG diploma or Master?
What do you want to achieve ? As in career wise what do you plan to do , and in case this is a backup you are considering, what is the final work that you wanna take up ?

What is your graduation, if I may ask ?
Specialisations like urban development have a good future, but all will depend on governments and people in governments openness to fresh ideas from outside.
