Default To opt for Indo Pak or Public Administration + Journalism

I think most will not favor the later but i have a reason to ask this! Indo pak first portion is totally dull to study and the answers to those questions will never quench the appetite of the examiner. But the good thing is that IndoPak and Pakistan Affairs paper overlap and make things easy! What will you have to say " Is it worth discarding Indo Pak and study two different subjects [PA + Journalism] and expect things to work rather than get low scores thinking that Indo Pak and Pakistan Affairs paper overlap and make preparations easier thus going through a jargon of historical events?

You are right Indo-Pak and Pakistan Affairs paper overlap and make preparations easier but keep in mind Indo-Pak is a low scoring subject and it's average scores falls round about 90/200. It may help you in Pakistan Affairs but why to kill 40-60 crucial marks just for your ease in a competitive exam.

So, I sincerely suggest you Public Administration and Journalism and this combination is far better than Indo-Pak.

Rest is up to you....

You should opt for any Regional Language (Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashto, Balochi).

Some other good subjects are International Law, USA History

dont go with IR or U.S history P..a is simple subject and scoring to it averages in 60's and good attempt can give u marks upto 80's . yes its right that regional languages are scoring but not I.R or U.S history if compared with P.a
