[QUOTE=pcswarrior;1058957]Ali Mallah Bhai,

I am faraz Qureshi, Can I choose European history as my optional subject?[/QUOTE]

Yes you may opt. Which subjects have you decided the rest? Can you please share your previous DMC as you cracked this exam and became AC?

Check my optional subject
 

Sir, I am thinking of opting following subjects as optional: Islamic history 1 and 2 plus Physics.

How is the combination? Can you suggest books for these?

Lolz. You know me. Any how, I opted Journalism, IR and European History. 50 percent of course outline of IR and European History is similar and in addition both subjects were opted by few fellows. So a little endeavor is needed to get some good marks. Like I got 108 in IR and 124 in European History.

Brother can you tell from where did you study IR. book name etc

Hehehe How do I know you? Your European History is a good but IR is not that good.

I hope to see you again as an AC in CCE-2013. All the best.

I made notes of IR from Chandar Prakash and JWT book of safdar mahmood and current affairs topics from newspapers. You have to understand the whole course (Theories, traditional course outline, cold war events, after cold war events plus current events) before jumping into the subject.
