UPSC Anthropology Syllabus 2025 for CSE Mains Optional Paper

Anthropology is a popular optional subject among UPSC aspirants in Pune due to its concise syllabus and multidisciplinary nature, making it both manageable and scoring. At RIIM Academy, a leading UPSC academy in Pune, we provide a detailed breakdown of the Anthropology syllabus to simplify your preparation.

The syllabus is divided into two papers.

Paper I focuses on the fundamentals of Anthropology, including its meaning, scope, and significance. It covers key areas such as biological anthropology (human evolution, genetics), social-cultural anthropology (family, marriage, kinship, and culture), archaeological anthropology (prehistoric cultures, tool development), and human growth and development (factors influencing growth and health).

Paper II explores Indian Anthropology and its applications, delving into the diversity of Indian society, tribes, and social structures. It includes Indian prehistory, ethno-archaeology, biological diversity (racial, linguistic, and ethnic groups), and the practical application of anthropology in areas like tribal welfare, public health, and disaster management. Additionally, emerging trends like globalization and urbanization are also emphasized.

Why Choose Anthropology as an Optional?

Choosing Anthropology as an optional for UPSC has several benefits, including a concise syllabus, relevance to General Studies, and practical insights into Indian society and development. At RIIM Academy, the best UPSC classes in Pune, our expert faculty and structured study materials ensure you master this subject effectively.

The syllabus is divided into two papers, each worth 250 marks, for a total of 500 marks. The papers are objective answer-type and there is no negative marking. The time duration to attempt the paper is 3 hours.
