  For Mechanical engineering is it sufficient or have to study other subjects also…

  @Probal & other candidates,
  We have question papers of 4-5 subjects, but not Mechanical Engineering. Sorry.
  The best place to get previous APSC question papers is the vendors in front of the APSC office in Guwahati. Did you check with them?
