CSE 2022: Plan/ Strategy/ Daily Routine

Can I use Casio 991ES for maths optional? Although UPSC says any non-programmable calculator is allowed, but I'm a little apprehensive about using this one as it has differentiation and integration functions. Please help.

I think it is 991ex. Yes you can use this.

I meant the 991es plus one. You're probably talking about the 991ex classwiz one (i googled 😂). Anyways, if they allow the 991ex one, there shouldn't be a problem with the 991es one. Thanks ,😄
