Hi there. In response to your query the answer would be unfortunately no. As per the pattern of the examination the general examination has to be given, it's not considered as an optional examination as of present, it's more like an obligate examination. You would have to appear for that and clear it in order to achieve your goal.
Hope this answer helps; best wishes
