After making it through the preliminary round of the UPSC examination, candidates are tasked with selecting an optional subject for the mains. One such optional that the UPSC offers is Chemistry. This subject is often chosen by aspirants who have a background in the field.
The Chemistry optional can prove to be a high-scoring subject for those who possess a solid understanding of it. Like other optional subjects, Chemistry comprises two papers. The first paper focuses on Inorganic and Physical Chemistry, while the second paper is entirely devoted to Organic Chemistry.
