Economics (200)
Indo Pak (100)
Agriculture + Forestry (100)
Business Administration (100)
Geography (100)

All the best guys.
Amin you should reconsider Geology and Economics. Every now and then an aspirant goes for geology it and the result is always disappointing. Plus the syllabus is still the same as when it was a 200 mark subject!.

As for Economics, it requires in depth understanding, even then on average the most it usually yields is 130.

Not necessarily true, in 2015 Eco was one of the highest scoring optionals with many candidates scoring 140+, one candidate even scored 162.

It has a far better scoring trend than IR or political science.

Do go through the TPUM book before deciding, the course is more difficult and technical than it looks.

With the exception of psychology most papers were much easier than normal in 2015, I would not take one year as an indication of change in trend.

Bro, I studied Economics in Bachelors and MBA so that doesn't seems to be an issue.

Geology is on chance and consequently, Stats due to this subject.

Well that changes things, Economics is a good option, but please do some research on geology. Stats can be rewarding, but there is no point if Geology drags down your total.
