Sociology plays a vital role in both UPSC and MPSC exams, especially in the General Studies and optional subject papers. It helps candidates understand the structure, functioning, and dynamics of Indian society, including social institutions, caste, class, religion, and modernization. Key topics include social change, social movements, gender issues, rural and urban sociology, and Indian social problems. Mastery of sociology enhances analytical skills and provides a strong foundation for essay writing and interviews. Aspirants focusing on sociology gain an edge in understanding societal challenges, making it an important subject for both national and state-level civil services exams.

This paper tests General Studies and includes current events of national and international importance, History of India and Indian National Movement, Indian and World Geography, Indian Polity and Governance, Economic and Social Development, Environmental Ecology, Biodiversity, and Climate Change – general issues, and General Science.
