General Studies

The question paper for General Studies will include information on topics and experiences related to contemporary events
and daily observations and their scientific aspects. There will be scientific, economic, social and political questions in this
paper, and such research and innovative changes, which are important for technology subjects in various subjects of
engineering. The emphasis will be on the development of science engineering.
