Default Optional Subjects for Business background students

Hello Members,

Below is the list of the optional subjects that I have chosen. Would request you to please guide me on whether this combination is advisable or not:

1- Accounting
2- Business Administration
3- Indo-Pak History or American History (which is recommended) ?
4- Philosophy
5- Sociology

I have majored in Economics however I do have a strong hold on accounting and auditing and business administration.

Please advice on whether to go ahead with this combo or not?

Can Accounting be taken with BA?

Lastly, can you also suggest books for each subject?

Thanks & Regards

Why you are opting philosophy? Also why you are not considering mercantile law? I assume in business and commerce studies, one also studies mercantile law.

I haven't studied mercantile law before.

As for philosophy, I heard that the syllabus is not that lengthy and it is a scoring subject.

Do you recommend Mercantile law over philosophy? Also, which other subjects are more scoring in that category (law one)?

*you should choose Accounting and auditing or (statistics+geology).
if you choose accounting and auditing you can score more than 150 marks easily and if you choose (statistics+geology) you can easily score 160+ marks as it has very limited course. if you choose Accounting and auditing you have to study whole the year because very lengthy course. on contrary , statistics and geology are much easier than Accounting and auditing and score more. less consumption of time. with in 3-4 months you can easily cover both subjects.
YOU SHOULD GO WITH (statistics+geology).
Nope, PA have more lengthy syllabus, its 2017 paper was quite tough as compared to BA's. And town planning? I would never recommend to anyone because 96% failed in it in 2016, 2017's result is yet to be seen- so unless one has 100% confidence in one's knowledge of subject, only then opt it.

PA or BA
