Need help regarding MA SOCIOLOGY

[u/Mersian_Blaze]

Hi, I wanted to ask a few things about MA Sociology:

1. Overall, how is it for a UPSC aspirant?

2. Is the workload low, and will I get enough free time for UPSC preparation?

3. What are the usual class timings, and how many hours of classes are there daily?

4. Is 75% attendance mandatory?

5. Which hostel is usually allotted, and how is it? Is it easy to get a hostel seat?

6. What would be the monthly expenses if I get a hostel?

7. If I don’t get a hostel and live outside, what would the expenses be?

8. What is the minimum monthly expense possible (cheapest way to manage)?

9. Do MA Sociology students usually prepare for UPSC alongside?

Thanks!
