Why Choose Geography as an Optional Subject?

Geography is an interdisciplinary field that combines physical sciences (geology, climatology), social sciences (economics, sociology), and environmental studies to provide a comprehensive view of global and regional challenges.

The subject is considered scoring if well prepared, as it requires clear concepts, illustrations, and the application of geographical theories to real-world events.

Knowledge of geography is useful not only for the optional paper, but also for answering questions in General Studies papers, especially Paper I (Geography) and Paper III (Environment, Ecology, Disaster Management, and Agriculture).
