DEAR IAS ASPIRANTS,<\/strong>
\nOnce Again Most of the QUESTIONS in CSE Mains SOCIOLOGY asked as per OUR Expectations & Teachings. In Most of the Questions Simple Brainstorming on SOCIOLOGICAL CONCEPTS, THEORIES & SOCIAL FACTS ARE REQUIRED.<\/p>\n

More than 95% Questions are Directly or Indirectly asked from SOCIOOGY CLASS DISCUSSIONS, TEST PAPERS & SELF PRACTICE WORK-BOOKS. This shows high rate of Predictability in Sociology Optional Question Pattern in Comparison to other Subjects i.e. Geography, History, Public Administration , Political Science etc.<\/p>\n

In Sociology Optional Papers, there are Limited number of Theory & Only Six Thinkers. There are Limited Number of Concepts & Facts. UPSC- IAS Aspirants need to Read & Understand these Concepts , Thinkers & Socisl Facts & Regularly do Brainstorming on Previous Year Questions to Perform in Examination.<\/p>\n

Every INDIVIDUAL has Sociological Imaginations.\u00a0 I mean, every member of Society is A Sociologists. While Preparing for this subject and writing Answers you should simply Colour your Sociological Imaginations with Imaginations of the Thinkers. These Thinkers were born & brought up in the Society, So you can find lots of Concurrence between your thinking & Thinking of the Thinkers.<\/p>\n

Theory application with reference to Current Social Facts are a common type of analytical writing assigned in Sociology Classes and Tests @ TRIUMPH IAS. UPSC Evaluators\u00a0 expect you to apply sociological theories (sometimes called \u201cperspectives\u201d or \u201carguments\u201d) to empirical phenomena called Social Facts.<\/p>\n

All future IAS Aspirants appearing in CSE 2020 can write UPSC Mains Sociology Optional Papers and get feedback from me.<\/p>\n
