  • PSIR offers broader utility, covering nearly 90% of GS Paper II (Polity and IR) while significantly aiding GS I (History) and GS IV (Ethics). Public Administration is more specialized, focusing deeply on Governance and Ethics with a more concise syllabus.
  • While PSIR provides a wider philosophical base for Essays, Public Admin offers practical administrative insights. Choose PSIR for maximum coverage or Public Admin for technical depth.
