I am very happy that I got All India 44th Rank in the prestigious civil services Examination. My optional that I choose is Anthropology, Ive taken coaching from Dr. Lakshmaiah IAS Study Circle.
The way in which the subjects are taught is very clear and there is a lot of depth, Analysis, objectivity and deeper thinking involved in all the classes that are given at institute and I am very grateful to Dr. Lakshmaiah Sir.
In terms of the subject, when I first decided to take up civil services as a career I went across a lot of other optionals but Anthropology interested me quite a lot and it was majorly because of the varied topics that anthropology covered like social issues, tribal issues, issues with respect to women, vulnerable sections of the society and all these are quite required for the job of an administrator. Because I felt it had practical value I opted for this subject. Even in terms of civil services Anthropology has even good results and it is very easy to understand. I would recommend people to take Anthropology as an optional subject.
