  Sanjay ji, There is no limit on technical papers, and you should read as many technical papers online as possible. So that we cannot cover every branch’s paper. But you won’t find GK, OPA and SPMM questions anywhere outside, everyone gets only theory in the name of study material. That’s why we have provided MCQ tests, which you can take after studying the theory to practice and check how much you have prepared. But we can plan in after some days. after covering nearly all of the common papers
