Aapki baat sahi magar generally the more candidates opt a subject the higher the chances of it getting butchered. It happened with journalism, sociology, then IR, USA history and I think to some extent env sciences.
They do it to kill this whole "yeh scoring subject hai" thing. Makes sense. So many people are opting GS now so that's why I said ke kuch bhi ho sakta hai.

Khair, I shouldn't act like a know-it-all here. This was just my observation so I shared it. If you want to opt this subject then make sure you nail your side of the paper. Pass bhi tu kerte he hain log, abhi bhi IR mein kiya.
