Sociology Study Chart(Complete your course in 80 Days)Chart has been prepared keeping in mind that potential candidates will be able to devote at least 3 to 4 hours daily(with average study and retention speed).Some Guidelines:The best way to study is to identify its ‘Independent’ units (topics) and ‘Dependent’ units. Independent unit means,it has no or least linkage with other paper and Dependent unit means, there is linkage between Paper I and Paper II.These should be studied jointly (for better understanding) and not separately.Students with no sociology background considers these units separate because of their placed location (i.e. Paper Iand Paper II)Dependent units should be studied jointly (Paper I & Paper II together), i.e. one after another. Paper I will help youdevelop insight about its theoretical, conceptual aspects and Paper II will enrich you with its practical relevance toIndian society. (Many a times UPSC asks questions with such linkage. For example: Ques: 2008 (Paper-I) – Newtrends in the type and forms of family in the contemporary India.)Note: Unit 4 is core of Sociology and you can expect more than 50% of questions in paper I from this unit. Otherto this, your answer can never be sociological without reference of the thinkers of this unit. Purpose ofemphasizing on this ‘Unit 4’ is that you should pay special time and focus to command it (It is commandable!).Let us divide whole sociology syllabus (Paper I & Paper II) in 8 Sections under two headings ‘Independent’ and‘Dependent’.(Arrangement of units are not according to syllabus serial, but to facilitate you for better understanding.)SOCIOLOGY STUDY PLAN - CHARTSectionNo.Paper/Units No.Units/Topics CoveredNumberof DaysINDEPENEDENT UNITS: Paper – I(Has no or least linkage with other paper)(Section: 1)PAPER-IUnit-1:Unit-1: Sociology – The Discipline:(a) Modernity and social changes in Europe and emergence ofsociology.(b) Scope of the subject and comparison with other socialsciences.(c) Sociology and common sense.1Call: 09540865705, Email: info@sociologyias.com, Visit: www.sociologyias.com3
