Dear Student,
We are excited to announce our comprehensive Agriculture Optional Test Series for UPSC CSE Mains 2024.
In the current trend, the UPSC optional subjects play a crucial role in determining who makes it to the selection list and who misses out by a narrow margin. Agriculture has proven to be a high-scoring optional subject. Candidates who prepare strategically can confidently expect to score at least 250+. As a technical subject, the questions tend to repeat each year. With proper guidance and consistent writing practice, scoring above 300 is achievable. The key to success lies in good writing practice, as there is no shortage of reading material for Agriculture optional. The following tables illustrate that, compared to other optional subjects, Agriculture significantly boosts the chances of making it to the selection list
The trend of questions asked over the years aims to evaluate aspirants’ understanding of basic concepts in the subject and their ability to present good content within limited time and space. However, recently, a few questions have been designed to test the depth of their knowledge.
For example, in 2016, a question on gene pyramiding and introgression was asked for 12.5 marks, and the same topic appeared again in 2020 for 15 marks. Despite the subtle differences between the two terms, answering such questions requires a deep understanding of the subject.
* A detailed analysis of the trend of questions will be provided later.
