2 years agoIt depends a lot on your interest.Try to choose a subject which you have studied earlier at UG / PG, which overlap with prelims and GS/ language.
Subjects like History, Geography, Political Science, Economics are good to have .
Between Psychology and Philosophy I is tough .You can choose the one which interests you as overlapping part from both in pre and GS is very limited.
