- The subjects with 100 marks will have only one paper of 100 marks

Subjects selection procedure and guide
There is no doubt and ambiguity about compulsory subjects. You have to take all the six compulsory subjects. So, how will you select the optional subjects? Here is the procedure and guide about how you will select your optional subjects.
Selecting optional subjects for CSS
For example, you take a subject of 200 marks from group 1, then you will choose 4 subjects of 100 marks each from other groups but a maximum of 2 from group 2 and a maximum of 1 from groups 3 - 7. So, let's suppose you take one subject of 200 marks from group 2, then you will choose two subjects of 100 marks each from the remaining groups (max 1 subject from each group)
For example, if you do not take any subject from group 1, and you choose two subjects of 100 marks each from group 2, then you have to choose 4 subjects of 100 marks each from group 3-7
Similarly, if you choose a subject of 200 marks from group 1, then choose 2 subjects of 100 marks each from group 2, then you have to choose two subjects of 100 marks each from groups 3-7
So, I hope you can understand how you will choose your subjects for CSS.
Total Marks for CSS are 1200.
