Good Luck......

NO, there are not. As Mechanical, Civil and Electrical are the core branches, only these are available in the optional subjects.
But, that doesn't mean than student belonging to any other branches other than these can't give IAS.
As for for example if you are an electronics Engineer, your most part of the syllabus are included in Electrical syllabus.
