What parallel courses can I pursue while studying an undergraduate course in Political Science for improving my career prospects?

If you are pursuing political science then you must be a UPSC aspirant. Political science course in itself is so vast that if you focus on it, you will not require any parallel course. But if you are aiming for UPSC then I would refer you some books that you should read that would increase your insight and at the same time prepare you for UPSC examinations. The first one is Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth and the second is India's Struggle for Independence by Bipin Chandra. The book Indian Polity is considered the bible for UPSC exams as there are approx 25 questions you will get in that exam from Indian Polity for sure. On the other hand, India's struggle for independence is also an important book which enlightens you about the facts and all the hard work India went through to attain independence. If you are a first-year student, I would recommend you to start taking general studies coaching from your second year. If you do these things, you won't need any other parallel course while doing political science.
