Anthropology has repeatedly turned out to be among the most popular optional courses among the Civil Services applicants of the UPSC exam. The main factor that contributed to its massive popularity is the perfectly organized and compact syllabus of the subject, which is not only easy to cover within available preparation time, but is also highly intelligible, including those who are not humanities majors. The fact that all kinds of quality study materials; such as standard textbooks, coaching notes, and online materials, are available further contributes to its attractiveness by candidates.
The inter-disciplinary nature of Anthropology is particularly peculiar to this field of science since it arises between natural sciences and social sciences. The topic contains scientific content like human genetics, evolution, biological anthropology, archaeological techniques and is therefore appealing especially to science graduates and engineering graduates who have no issue working with logical analyses and interpretation of facts. Combining the theoretical aspects of the presented idea and examples based on Indian social life, the aspirants can familiarize the topic and relate it to the problems of our world better, both deepening their knowledge and improving the quality of answers during the exam.
The other attractive fact about the popularity of Anthropology is that it scores high. It is a subject that is objective in character, and when the candidate is well prepared and employs answer writing strategies, it usually becomes easy to score more marks as opposed to certain other humanities optional. A number of toppers have chosen Anthropology in the several years and been very successful. An example of this would be Shubham Kumar, who ranked All India 1 in the 2020 UPSC Civil Services Examination making it a case study in terms of using Anthropology as an optional subject that can secure top ranks.
Altogether, the brief syllabus, scientific background, resource availability, and effective success record make Anthropology a witty and rational decision that UPSC candidates should choose to get impressive results on the mains exam.
