Why you choose Psychology as optional subject.
- Psychology is highly scoring. By “scoring” we mean that you score 70-75% with less amount of effort. In other subjects, like History, you work more but score less. And the UPSC formula that it will help in GS papers will not work here as the difference between the standard of History in GS and in Optional is very high.
- People who can represent something logically can score high in this paper.
- Study materials easily available.
- Teachers are available. (We offer guidance for Psychology optional, guided by WBCS Gr A Officers). You need to remember that you need not be a Pundit in Psychology, you need to score high, that too within 4 to 6 month of study, if not less than that. You need to know how to score more.
- There is scope of original writing here which helps in scoring high.
- Our suggestions are available including mock test , materials etc.
- Always remember, except literature, any subject’s study material is always enriched in English language.
- WBCS Main Exam Psychology Optional subject Syllabus is less compared to other subjects. It is comparatively newly developed discipline, main work done in USA etc.
