Hi,

I'm preparing myself for M.A Political Science Part 1 and 2. I want to ask how much of C.S.S Political Science syllabus would be covered along with my preparation of M.A Political Science?

Basit the Masters in Political Science is immensely helpful in CSS. It gives you 600 Marks in Optionals plus Pakistan Affairs and Current Affairs.
I also had masters in Pol.Sc before qualifyinf my CSS.
Best of Luck.

How can P.S give 600 marks?????

@MA Political Science is a better option for CSS:

Why:

Do MA Political Science with group A, It's much better. This will cover many concepts of Political Science and IR. It will help you in many subjects of CSS and PMS. There will be many options with you in subject selection for CSS and PMS if you did MA Political Science. e.g:

Proof:

1) Govt and Politics in Pak = Pak Affairs paper of CSS and PMS 100 marks
2) 2) Political systems (Constitutions) = Constitutional Law 100 marks
3) Political Philosophy = Political Science 200 marks
4) History and Principles of IR = IR 100 marks
5) Principles of Public Admin= Public admin 100 marks
6) Political Development, Social change and Research methodology = Sociology 100 marks
7) Muslim world and its political dynamics = Current affair 100 marks

Select 1 Group from below:

Group A)
1) Int Law and org = Int Law 100 marks
2) FP analysis and FP of USA, China, India and Pak = Current affairs 100 marks
3) Politics of Int economic Relations = Current affairs 100 marks

Group B)
1) Political and institutional Development in Pak = Pak Affair 100 marks
2) Economy of Pak = Pak Affairs 100 marks
3) Pak in world affairs = Pak Affairs 100 marks

Group C)
1) Western Political thoughts = Political Science Paper A 100 marks
2) Muslim Political thoughts = Political Science Paper A
3) Contemporary Political thought = Political Science Papers A

p.s: I hope the papers and syllabus of the other universities would almost be the same.

I did my Masters from P.U in Diplomacy & strategic studies . n this helped me in CE-2012 in I.R, C.A, Indo Pak History paper II, Pakistan Affair and in some intense in my English Essay prep. graduation in social sciences helps you in css easily.

MA political science is very helpfull in connection to competitive exame like css and pms becouse it covers all the optional subjects and also helps u in current affairs and pak affairs . i m also a political scientist .

Dear friends,despite all,don't forgate that p.s is considered among a very low scoring subjects and it demands an exhaustive study comparable to two more papers of 100 marks each.hope u keep it in ur mind...thanks !
