Re: (Attock VU Group) Dr. Naveed Malik's reply about paper pattern

bahi app ki baat sahi hay per kafi sari asi books hay jin may subjective khud say karna difficult huta hay.vu kay mcqs ka musla ya hay kay wo old hi revise krtay hay.agr change hu jaya tu number wohi lay sukta hay jiss nay full semester study ki hu.lakin kafi student kuch bi study nahi kartay bus old paper lay kar mcqs ruta luga latay hay.bharhal may nay pu ka ma economics may econometrice ka paper dia tha aur 75 marks ka paper last two year kay paper may say bilkul same aya tha. so iss kay baray may kuch nahi kaha ja sukta.
