    any relevant content with better presentation or say unique always fetches more score in any paper :)

    I don't know what happened, I was sure of getting around 120-130 marks and that too considering the worst possible scenario. In 2014, I got 155 in paper 1 but in 2015, I got only 58 marks.

  • @sj11 Bhai,in any case changing the optional should be the least considered option and you have got good marks barring just once...stick with philosophy..history requires a lot of hard work and marks are never guaranteed..stick with philosophy..read books in that,improvise your answers

    and above all the portion.........kabhi bhi khatam nahi hota....jab tak ek part udao tab tak doosra alreay padha hua part bhoolne pe aa jata hai....
    i would not reccomend to not take history at all...but dont do it casually....its a very hazardous optional by vastness....you may begin to fall in love with philosophy if u start reading history and understand what we are trying to say :D
