Sir..I have done B.Sc in Environmental sciences n masters in English literature.. I m quite not sure about my subject selection..
I have chosen my optional subjects

English Literature
Botany
Agriculture
International Relations

Is this combination well?

me frm mirpur A.k ,wants to appear in 2013, but i still not decided abt optnal sub can u help me?

this is a good combination but why dont you opt geography instead of english literature? Literature is not a scoring subject. Also you should opt botany only if you have its background. Otherwise go for journalism and sociology. Agriculture is a scoring subject.

Books for political science.
Paper 1.
1. Western political thought by Judd harmon,
2. Muslim political thought by
Aslam chaudhary
3. Political science theory and practice by Mazhar-ul-haq.

Books for pol science paper 2 ans constitutional law.

1. Modern constitutions by
Mazhar ul haq.
2. Constitutional law by A.C. Kapoor

3. Modern constitutions by
Emporium publishers
4. Latest online version of pakistan constitution.

You have b.a. degree that is good enough.
If age relaxation can be claimed then you must choose your optionals and study them whenever you have free time.
Forget about all other worries because all these issues are part and parcel of life.

dear why not it will b my pleasure to help u.dear my optionals are
indopak history (not sure )
journalism (sure)
international relations(sure)
geography(not sure)

dear by "not sure" i mean that i opt these but can change them .optional selection purely depends upon ur previous studies(graduation/master)relevance and ur interest about subject.so wats ur area of experties in graduation or master.

Sir If I opt Sociology n public administration instead of English literature..then my combination will be

Public administration
I.R
Sociology
Agriculture
now tell me Which subject is more scoring Geography or botany?

if u got botany or zoology back ground then u should go for botany.but being a science student i will go for zoology instead of botany cos it is bit easy as far as according to my iterest cos in botany u have to rember alot about their botanical origin etc but in zoology there r nearly same type of major systems.but if u dont got botany or zoology background go for geography.

Bro, nice to see that we have two optional subjects are same, i.e. Pol. Science & Indo Pak History.
