Electrical Engineering as Optional ???

I am thinking of taking EE as an optional for 2015 IAS. My reasons are –
1. I did my graduation in it. (ECE, B. Tech.)
2. The option for IES also opened. If I could not make it to the civil services, I would prefer a technical job. IES will be my back up plan.
3. (I think) it can be pretty scoring if you have strong command over it. Prince Dhawan (AIR-3) had it last year.
4. You don’t have to write too much in it.
5. I kind of like it.
What are your thoughts?
