  2. Dear,

    Can you pls help me to understand, does that mean that a candidate have to (optional) select one subject from each category.

    • Hi Prashant,
      It is not the case that from each category the subject has to be selected; it is optional subjects (1 or 2) needs to be selected for the exam from the full list of categories.
