Geography as civil service exam optional

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.

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!).
