Question confusion about opting constitutional law

I have a background in science and all these subjects are new to me.
As one of my optional subject is pol sci, I am confused about Int law and C. law.
Should I go for C. law even if I don’t have any prior knowledge of this subject?

Yes, you should definitely go for constitutional law if you are opting pol science, because constitutional law is more or less same as the second paper of pol science. They overlap so you will easily prepare both.

I haven't bought any specific book for constitutional law as it can be covered from the books of pol. Science. S.L Kealy book on World's Constitutions cover most of it. You need to consult some other book for Pakistan's portion.

I am confused after going through DMCs of many candidates. I was opting for IR, IL and GS because I cleared them in CE2018 but they are targetted by FPSC this time. I am left with Political Science, Constitutional Law/Muslim Law & Jurisprudence/Criminology, US History, Public Ad/G&PP, Sociology/Journalism/Pushto. It seems difficult to cover Western and Muslim Political Philosophers along with 9 constitutions in just 3 months. I have background of Shariah and Law so I have studied Muslim Law & Jurisprudence but I am not confident about opting for it. Flunked Sociology in KP PMS but that paper was insanely difficult and deliberately hit by KPPSC. Journalism is no more a straightforward subject whereas Pushto is a scoring subject but I am bit slow in writing Pushto and memorizing poetry seems herculean task for me.

You are right, three months is a short time, but you don't need to cover all philosophers or all Constitutions. You can opt for selective studies based on past papers. But if you find it hard to do then go for IR but with a different approach. Consult some expert as IR needs specialized knowledge based on theories so can't be dealt like current affairs. I have no personal experience of IR but have come to know about this from other sources. Don't leave Pashto because of writing problem. You can overcame that by writing practice. I have no idea about muslim law but Criminology is a safe choice. In the end these are just my views. Good luck!

Thank you so much for your valuable guidance. My IR's score was 110 in CE2018 but in IR-II, I kept bringing Cold War in almost every question without application of theories. Now as FPSC has targetted IR-II due to non-application of theories, I am not that confident to go for the same with completely new approach altogether. Past papers of Political Science seem pretty easy and straighforward in nature but it has the potential to be targetted this time because most of the candidates will switch from IR to it given the current disappointing resut. As for Pushto, I struggle big time when it comes to memorizing poetry of different poets but I will try to remember through singing them. Of course, if I have to go for Political Science then Constitutional Law would be automatic choice for me.

If you are appearing for CSS 2020 then go for the books you have because you ain't have no enough time. But if you are appearing next year or in 2022 then I'll recommend you the following books:
1. Fundamentals of Political Science by Professor Bakhtiar.
2. Political Philosophy ( Western ) by Professor Bakhtiar.
3. Political Philosophy ( Muslims ) by Professor Bakhtiar.
4. Selected Constitutions by Professor Bakhtiar.
These four books will cover the whole syllabus of Paper-1 and Paper-2 of Poltical Science and also Constitutional Law. There are two versions of Book-1, one is comprehensive and another one is brief, but you can opt which book you wanna. The brief book I also more than enough. Book-4 has 12 constitutions which are included in Paper-2 syllabus, but just 8 of them covers the whole syllabus of Constitutional Law. Most of the books recommended on this forum just create confusion, nothing more.
Regards!
