    Well dear as it is a engineering subject so student who have studied in graduation will only go for it.
    Electrical engineering has a very lenghthy syallabus so it becomes quite tough as so much to carry at a time.if anyone wants to take it as optional in mains then he should go through the syallabus and make sure that he is confident about it.
    Best of luck

    dear aspirant,


    Engineering subjects always considered tough. and i will give you advice that don't worry about subjects whether the subject is easy or tough. if you are well prepared for the subject then tough subjects also seems very easy.

    if you are from electrical branch then according to my point of view you must choose Electrical Engineering subject as a optional subject for Mains exam. as you have studied these subjects in your academic carrier that will help you in preparation and also to crack the exam.

    if you do not want to choose Electrical Engineering as your optional subject you can choose any optional subjects from the list.

    • Agriculture
    • Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science
    • Anthropology
    • Botany
    • Chemistry
    • Civil Engineering
    • Commerce and Accountancy

    • Electrical Engineering
    • Geography

    Hi friend,
    See it all depends how you look at things.
    If you look a particular thing in a positive manner,then you'll easily sail through.


    Electrical Engineering is a very interesting branch and even you must have enjoyed studying it during your graduation.
    Once you have your basics clear about a subject,that subject becomes very easy!
    So in my view you must concentrate o the basics.

    Get your basics right and then you'll yourself see that Electrical Engineering is so easy.
    So go for it as an optional subject for Civils main exam!

    Work hard and succeed in life!
    Bye!
