Optional Selection

Point to note about Optional Selection which was suggested by my senior from IIM Indore, Tanay Shankar who was in IRS and now is Harvard MPA student :

Take latest optional test paper, see them without any knowledge and try to answer those questions and if you feel like you can write answers to 20-30% of the questions based on your current situation-pick it.

I did this from subjects I short listed :

Management

Psychology

PSIR

Sociology

I remember seeing #MeToo movement and thinking I can write on this. This was my litmus test. May or may not work for all, just putting out my selection method from guidance of a senior
