Question Subjects for Foreign Service of Pakistan
I have done my high school from the US & BBA from UAE. I am interested in joining the FOP for which I have I finalized on the following subjects:

Political Science - 200
US History - 100
International Relations - 100
Philosophy - 200

These subjects while leaning towards FOP are also subjects that I have a interest + grip on.

Would love to hear what you all think.

AOA,
brother 1st 3 are good but try to replace philosophy with psychology. because in philosophy you can't get very good or up the mark marks even after doing a lot of hard work.so pay heed to this point of view.

if you are going to opt political science then opt constitutional law as well, because it will not need any extra effort to prepare it. you can change any one USA His or IR with const law.

and yes instead of philosophy , psychology is best option.

I was going to pick psychology as well since my pals told me that it was a good subject to pick but the problem is that I haven't studied psychology before & while I was at Pakistan's Embassay in the UAE, the First Secetary told me not to pick any subjects that I haven't studied before no matter how high scoring those subjects may be.

Philosophy on the other hand captivate me. Hence my dilemma

Another option I have is to replace Psychology with Geography (200) since it tends to be high scoring & is worth knowing while working at Foreign Service of Pakistan ministry.

Subject selection does not matter in securing favorite group.

Hmm. Interesting reply. Although Constitutuion Law is not something I have studied before, it is something that I would like to study in detail. Perhaps I can drop Psychology (since it bores me) & replace it with CL (100).

That means my subjects would be:

Political Science (200)
Constitution Law (100)
History of USA (100)
International Relations (100)

Which leaves me with one more subject of 100 points.

How about Public Administration or Business Administration?

I know but I was just using that as the 2nd positive of picking Geography

Also studying it would be helpful for my future in FSP

2. International Relations – 100 (Group F)
3. History of the USA – 100 (Group E)
4. Constitutional Law – 100 (Group F)
5. Public Administration – 100 (Group A)

Option # 2
1. Political Science – 200 (Group B)
2. International Relations – 100 (Group F)
3. History of the USA – 100 (Group E)
4. Geography – 200 (Group D)
