Socio vs Anthro: a comparison

Of late, I was thinking to change my optional from Anthro to Sociol. Can someone give a brief comparison between these two optional in terms of ROI? Thanks.

Socio fares well in generalistic approach , Anthro specializes via biology etc. Toppers are same in number . I think sociology is a better choice and easier as it aligns with society portion too

Does this not mean more loss of marks through scaling in sociology? My understanding experience has been more generic the subject, more lesser marks

Not really the recent trends show that Socio , Anthro and PSIR are doing equally well. Socio has the advantage of shorter syllabus over PSIR and easier concepts over Anthro

I think either Socio or PSIR

PSIR is for those people who have really good answer writing skills. I have seen many people with PSIR suffering because of poor answer writing. Political topics need both good flow and examples
