The Indian Railways will now recruit officers through the IRMS exam, and only the prelim stage will be common to the UPSC CSE; the other two stages have separate exam structures. Both ways are good; if you want to join for generalist positions through IRMS, CSE is better, whereas if you want to become a specialist, ESE is better.
1. Salary: Both services are group "A" services with an equal salary structure as per the seventh pay commission.
2. Nature of work: The IRMS's work is to look after management in the railways, whereas ESE includes branch-specific work such as mechanical engineers in the railways, who will work in the Mechanic

If the sole purpose is to apply for government jobs, then you can go for courses like B.A. B.Sc. , etc. B.A. Would be most preferable as it would be helping you with various topics that are directly asked in exams. Apart from it, any graduation course would be suitable as competitive exams demands for graduation, not graduation under which course.

If you are referring to smart work, you can crack UPSC with less hard work. The simple rule is to practice and solve previous year's puzzles as per experts. However, UPSC is a coveted exam that requires a significant amount of effort. This exam takes at least ten months to prepare. The duration between prelims and Mains is usually less than 3 months, and the UPSC Mains syllabus is so extensive that it takes at least 6 months to complete.

Therefore, this exam requires lots of effor

2. If presidential elections were in the news, for example, UPSC would ask about the election process in the preliminary exam and about the president's role in governance in the main exam. Therefore, you are required to prepare topic-based notes.
3. The UPSC has provided a detailed syllabus, and you can fit CA events accordingly in each section. For instance, you can put security-related developments in

You can choose Economics Optional for UPSC Mains Optional Papers I and II. The optional subject is required for UPSC Mains, which is the written stage of UPSC CSE. This is the eighth and ninth paper of the Mains, and it consists of two papers. Usually optional paper 2 is applied and paper 1 is static concept based. There is no such thing as a "best-scoring optional subject" in the UPSC and marking patterns change every year. These are popular optional subjects that are usually preferred by students.
1. Public Administration
2. Political Science
3. Sociology
