Business Administration includes Management, marketing,HRM, FM. 4 books 4 just 100 marks, so plz recommend Business administration should b opt? i think no,
need recommendations

Please recommend me more subjects as i m so confused. i did B.SC with maths, statistics & economics before my MBA.

Firstly, Business Administration includes: FM, Marketing, and Management. i opted this subject in my first attempt i.e 2012 and found it too lengthy to cover up, hence i have replaced it with language now. i also did MBA(B&F).
i would suggest you some optional:
Journalism 100 Marks (easy to prepare)
Sociology 100 Marks (Easy to Prepare)
Mercantile Law 100 Marks ( Unequivocally, it would be easy for you as you have studied it in MBA like me)
any Language 100 Marks. ( i opted Pashto)
Indo-pak history/ islamic history/ British history/ European history (i found British history more easy to prepare) 200 Marks.
These are my optional as well. now you should go through previous papers of these subjects and make your mind. Regards.

Thanks Ahmed for suggestions
it would be my 1st attempt
pure mathematics would be tough to cover, as it demands practice, it would be difficult to cover wide syllabus,
i m doing job as well. it is difficult for me to cover maths.
do you suggest me to opt maths?
what would u suggest for economics(200), maths?
on the other hand ,i can opt statistics 100 marks if i m unable to cover maths,
there is any substitute for language subject?
i m unable to join academy bcoz of my job, i need more guidance from your side

Well sid i have studied Statistics and Economics in my bachelors and Master's, but i didn't opt it because of many reason:
1.these are not scoring subject esp: Economics.
2. you should opt those subjects which help you out in other subjects too.
3. mathematics and statistics has nothing to do with any other subject.
I have been told by CSP that always chose those subject which is scoring as well as co-related with other subjects.

furthermore, you can replace language with mercantile law, US History, or IR( IR is low scoring but help you out in other subjects).
