Geography is a very popular optional in civil service exams.
The benefits of geo are
It’s simple – land, water, plants, animals, air – aren’t we
familiar will these terms?. Almost all jargons in the geo are easy. There are
no tongue twisters.
The boundaries are defined. By learning a defined number of
books, we can manage the subject. Even “out of syllabus” type questions can be
managed. This is in contrast to subjects like psychology where only god knows
where they ask the questions from?
The geo is cool subject. It helps in gen studies paper also.
There are some wonderful well written books in this subject.
Majid Hussain deserves a good applause for writing books in lucid style.
There is hope for application of “theory of gasification” in
this subject to some extent.
The effective presentation of geo answers can be made easily through diagrams.In case you are averse to drawing even a doodle, then geo
may not work for you. In case 2D orientation (maps, diagrams) isn’t your area,
then too geo won’t be a good idea for you. (There are some people who even if
they try day and night won’t be able to get the 2d view. Dont worry, one of my friends
who have such a problem is now working as a sugeon!).
Mr Abhiram Shanker has given a complete list of methods in
his writing. Read it here (From website indianofficer). To add anything to it will be grave injustice to the
subject.
