We can prepare together with target based study. Let me know

[@poojalagyan227]

I am confused between sociology and English literature. I have done my graduation in English Honours and I am also interested in English literature but there is not much guidance about it in the market. But there is enough guidance for sociology. Which one should i choose sir?

[@sunnykumarpandey8249]

There are some available for English Literature but their reviews are not good.The educators themselves haven't written a single mains paper and they have launched their own batches. If you find a good educator, kindly let me know.

[@hasan_marufa]

Same problem,,, I also confused between these 2 subjects. The syllabus of English literature is bulky and only 60% of the syllabus of upsc coincide with graduation syllabus..
