        <h3 class="notice-title">Why You Should Choose Anthropology?</h3>
                    
<p>•	It is by and large a static subject. Unlike the other subjects for e.g. Public Administration, Political Science etc. where the recent events also need to be covered and analyzed, Anthropology is brief and static. In this optional you will learn the topics like Marriage, Kinship, Evolution, Prehistoric cultures etc, these topics just require mugging and retention.</p>
<p>•	The subject is very interesting and will keep you attentive due to the blend of everything in it, be it science, social science, history, biology, and so on.</p>
<p>•	The questions that are asked in the UPSC Civil Services exam are direct. They can be anticipated and prepared easily. </p>
<p>•	Interestingly you will notice there is a lot of repetition in the questions asked every year. One or two questions definitely get repeated. The subject is not at all burdensome. You can easily and equally focus on other subjects of mains.</p>
<p>•	Unlike the other Arts subjects, the answer writing in anthropology is not based much on writing creative answers and showcasing your writing prowess. The answers will mostly be to the point and explained using diagrams, flow charts etc.</p>
<p>•	The subject matter of this paper also overlaps with Indian Society and issues related to the development in General Studies.  It is highly beneficial to find such convergence in papers because it saves you time and energy and also provides ample material, as well as different perspectives to write better answers in both subjects.</p>
