your combo is excellent, according to me, except Town planning. I am not so sure about town planning. If I had to choose between town plan, gender studies or environmental sciences, I would have gone for environmental sciences. best wishes

I have opted T&UM because I found it easy from its syllabus, Gender studies and others have the lengthy syllabus. but still, I welcome suggestions.

well this is very good combo....but the result of TP was disastrous in 2016, I would suggest you the same as the mmawaqar did, environmental sciences is scoring, and if you still want something that relates to social sciences then comparative Gender studies is also better choice than Town Planning..all the best for your preparations.thanks

Environmental Sciences had an edge in overall result of 2016, aspirants who opted it managed to score more than 65 easily with highest to my best knowledge was 89, while gender studies also proved good option as aspirants had average score more than 55.

For a aspirant with computer science background, both subjects are alien..so you can go for either of them.

Sociology is daily life subjects and you may be asked questions from things happening around, if you find it difficult them last group has many options for you.

Default suggestions required

I just want to ask that this is my 2nd attempt of css and in first attempt I selected the following subjects
International relations
Zoology
History of Pakistan and India
Governance and public policies and psychology
Now I want to change the subject of zoology. Suggest me that these subjects are good enough for me to do good score. I have a background of science I did bachelor in chemistry zoology and psychology
Instead of that my basics of English are not good and m not a good reader of newspaper. I have attempted my first chance without any preparation.
Do you guys think that I can do css. If I can how much time is required I already lost my chance in first attempt and now my family is forcing me that go for 2 chance. For 2 chance I have only 6 months for preparation. M doing job also. Should I leave my job.�� give me honset advice

The only thing to clear CSS is hard work. I suggest you have to join good academy for guidance. It will give you direction. and if you want to change subject, replace zoology with any subject in group VI. there is no need to quit your job if you can manage it.
