The importance of different Group Subjects:

If you want to join any PSUs or to get admission in M.Tech at any IITs or ISM you can’t ignore any subject. You should focus on all subjects keeping in mind the importance of the paper. Means you should read Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’ subjects in depth. And Group ‘C’ & ‘D’ with slightly less priority but can’t ignore any subject.

If you want to Join M.Tech at any NITs you should focus and do an in-depth study of Group ‘A’, Group ‘B’ subjects and Group ‘C’ subject with less priority. Read Group ‘D’ only one time two week before the exam.
