For Specialist we can’t definitely say that questions will be ask thoroughly from Automobile Engineering. In Last Year’s exam question were asked from various fields like chemistry & others for Specialist Post. So Better for you, brush up the basics of General Science with Automobile Engineering. If we talk about descriptive Test, all questions will be related to insurance sector either comprehension, letter, precise writing. So you need to be familiar with insurance sector & practice for Typing. ALL THE BEST.
