I have a Finance and Accounting background, the reason for choosing Accountancy. However, I have been advised, time and again, to opt for International Relations in CE-2018, since it helps cover other subjects. It makes sense, naturally, but I am confused since I have already prepared for these subjects and appearing with the same combination in 2018, would help me have a sound preparation.

The question stands, should I opt for the same subject combination as 2017, or is it really more effective to opt for IR with I.Law. I have no history of both the subjects and will have to prepare them from scratch. Also, I lack the ability to cram material, at all.

And also is the current combination a recipe for failure?

Comments and suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.
