[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]but my friend according to my opinion you should not take Sanskrit as your optional [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]subject because it is not a suitable subject for a b.tech stuident because you have not proper knowledge of the subject.

[/FONT]
so you should take mathematics and physics as your main subject.



good luck.!!!!

Yes you can choose any optional irrespective of your graduation..

So you can go for it..
