Hello,

As per AICTE new norms for admission to B.Tech a candidate must score minimum 45% in any three subjects from the following

  • Physics

It is also stated that the institute or University can issue its guidelines which means that AICTE has left the decision to the institutes/University to determine the eligibility criteria for admission to Engineering. As of now the eligibility criteria to appear for TS EAMCET 2022 for admission to Engineering course is that you must have passed 10+2 or its equivalent with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as optional or related vocational courses in the fields of Engineering and Technology with minimum 45% of marks in case the candidate belongs to general category and minimum 40% of marks in case the candidate belongs to reserved category in the subjects specified taken together in 10+2 level.

Can i write the GS papers and the essay (paper 1-5) in English while having my optional subject as Hindi Literature?

tanishqgiri.goswami 12th Jun, 2021

Hello Ekta,

I would like to tell you that, Yes! Now UPSC provides options to write GS and Optional papers in different mediums (Since 2018). If you choose to write GS and Essay papers in Hindi and Optional Paper in English you can do so.

But point to be noted here is, If you choose to write GS and Essay papers in English then you have to write Optional papers also in English. It means, given the technical/subject specific terminology in optional, you are given opportunity to write it in English while writing GS papers in your fluent or compatible language.

You will get these option while filling the application form for prelim. UPSC ask optional subject and medium both for GS & Essay papers and Optional subject separately in the preliminary stage itself. So, you get sufficient time to get yourself ready and mater in the chosen language.

Further, If you write your GS papers in English medium and want to choose Hindi for interviews that option is also available. But that is not vice versa, that is if your medium for mains is Hindi/regional languages, you can not opt English for Interview.

So, Go ahead without any hesitation or concern if you are more comfortable for Optional to write in English and confident for GS and Essay papers to write in Hindi or any other regional languages (VIII Schedule languages).

Hope this helps,

All the best!

The compulsory indian language and english are qualifying in nature . You just need to qualify them. The marks obtained by you in these two papers will not be counted towards merit list.

*Interview :- After qualifying mains, you have to go through interview round, and it is more of test of your personality rather than knowledge.
