Slam to all,I m not any authority on subject selection but I wud just like to share my own views and experience as I m doing Masters in English and I wud appear in css 2011,but as per my perception regarding Css ,one does not appear in css just for the pleasure of knowledge but to get good marks and join the service.I have discussed personally with CSPs as my two cousins and a friend are csps.There is no problem with English lit except its a risky subject and the course is lengthy so I think so in-spite to do experiences ,we shud learn from others experience,and chose the marks scoring subject as in Css, there is throat cut competition,so u should be very careful while selecting the subject as I would also not going to take English lit.........
