[AmitDavid24]

thanks praveen but iam confused between
Compulsory vs
Optional
(Any three from any one Group)
please can u help me out with this as B section has only 9 subject according to my knowledge

[praveen]

Yes,, only 9 subjects...
u have to write all the compulsary papers..and any 3 subjects from any one of the Optional group.

so compulsary 6 + optional 3
total 9

[monica8780]

Hi Praveen,
Do we have syllabus of Section-B optional subjects (Electronics and Communication Engineering) published
on the site? If yes, can u pls send me the link?
Thanks in advance
