For, CSS after 1 attempt, I have enough know how of the system. It is not easy to select the subjects. Degree does not matter. I am commerce graduate and doing M.Phil in accounting and finance but still I have not taken any of the subjects from my previous degree as optional. Seniors can guide better.
