INDOPAK HISTORY (would be new subject for me)

I want suggestions regarding Indo pak history.
I have a policy of not advising anyone (even my own relatives) on subject selection, because this decision varies from person to person to a large extent. You must opt for subjects owing to your personal interest, as I have repeatedly mentioned in this thread and elsewhere. The first two subjects are linked, especially the paper two of geography with that of economy. These subjects require understanding and a mere ratafication would not do.
Indo-Pakistan has persistently been a low scoring subject, but Paper II would be an entire overlap with Pakistan Affairs so can lessen your work load.

Is it permissible to opt three subjects of 200marks in CSS?
Yes, as far as I know. I have not known any bar on selecting three 200 marks subjects.

Quote:
Would I face problems(related to preparation) due to selection of three subjects all carrying equal marks(200)?If yes then what kind of problems?
Even a 200 marks subject is in fact two papers clubbed together. So in effect you would be preparing for six subjects in three groups. I don't see any odd reason why you should face any issue.

My post may be irrelevant to this thread but I cannot help my self to ask as you have not only qualified but qualified with distinction.
Thanks.
