Dear as mr adil has already told you that he had no back ground wotever subject he opted. In css exam all candidates have different study back grounds i-e medical, engineering, social sciences, arts etc. and many candidates even do not find the subjects of their study back ground and instead of that they pass with flying colors. So its not necessary that one should have study back ground. .[/QUOTE]

You are right dear this subject is scoring one and if one study it thoroughly and with interest then he can get up to 170 marks.

Dear this subject has 200 marks and two papers . paper I is lilttle bit scientific but it doesn’t contain too much scientific terminology like other science subject do. PaperI is about earth, heavenly bodies, oceans, winds, land forms, earth quake, tempratures etc
And most of the things of this paper u have to study in EDS aswel .
Paper II is not scientific and that is general type and contains many topics related to sociology, current affairs, etc so paper II can be studied without much efforts.
I have already said that go through syllabus and past question papers. You will get the idea.

dear if any subject is read with due planning and time management then I think it must not take more than 15 days. And it also depends upon your mental capacity of understanding the things and the method of study aswell. I suggest you go through the past question papers and select the most important topics and that will not take too much time and u will also b able to attempt the questions in exam easily.
Now ball is still in your court.
