Hi Rakesh,
It is not necessary to join the JNU programme, because if that would have been the case then engineers opting for arts/humanities optional like public administration, geography or history would not have been cracking the civil services examination. The syllabus of optional is desgined in such a way, which can be finished in 6 to 8 months, if done regressively. Second, there is no issue joining the JNU programme as it is good for career enhancement too, but preparing for civil services cannot be the only factor.
