Which Optional to take?

Many aspirants are messaging me on how to take optional. Some are confused on how to select it and some are not sure about switching from a graduation subject to a different optional. I will try to answer that in this post. First, let me start about myself. I did my B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Guwahati.
