Engineering

This depends on your interest and learning potential and everybody will have different viewpoints regarding the same. The syllabus that is tough for you can be easy to grasp for your friend, who has a lot of interest and passion for communication technology, computers and networking applications in general. For example, you may find the subjects Signal Processing Theory and Fibre Optics very tough because of the technical aptitude and analytical perspective that it deals with. But, for some other person, it might be easy to study, as it gives you an opportunity to brainstorm and learn something new and exciting.

When it comes to choosing Communications Engineering in India, several entrance tests can be undertaken by students for getting admission to some of best colleges in country offering courses in this field at various levels like diploma, UG, PG, and PhD.

Students can check number of colleges that accept certain exam scores and then decide exam they would like to appear for afterwards:

Note: Some colleges accept multiple entrance exam scores.

Candidates can add the two-paper combination option at the time of filling the GATE application form. Candidates will be allowed to opt for at least two papers - One primary and one secondary subject. 

If you are an IIT graduate with a BTech degree in Communications Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Electronics and Communication Engineering and have an overall CGPA of 8 and above or more than 75% marks, you can get direct admission for M.Tech Communications Engineering.

Not all IITs offer this exemption so you need to check at their official website to confirm the same. IIT Delhi does offer this option to IIT graduates. Having said that, rest of the candidates must have a valid GATE score for admission to M.Tech Communications Engineering at the top IITs in India.

In the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering exam, the two paper combination is a system that allows candidates to choose at  least two papers from a predefined list of combination. This approach was implemented by the GATE conducting bodies to test students' skills and knowledge in different subjects of their discipline. The two-paper combination is categorised into primary and secondary, where candidates can apply their knowledge in the related field.
