The UPSC offers Sociology as one of the optional subjects among the list of 48 subjects. This specialized subject’s syllabus for UPSC covers a wide range of topics, including the study of society, social institutions, sociological thinkers, social movements, and research methods in sociology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candidates who choose Sociology as their optional subject will have to appear for two papers, each carrying 250 marks, thereby resulting in a total of 500 marks for this subject. These optional papers are an integral part of the UPSC Mains Examination, which is conducted after the IAS Preliminary exam. While Sociology may not be as commonly selected as some other subjects for the IAS Mains exam, candidates with a graduation degree in Sociology or a strong background in the subject can opt for it as their optional subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
