Comments on paper:

EE paper-II has more concept based questions.

Compared to last year, in Networks and Power systems weightage has come down while it
is increased in Analog circuits, Digital circuits, Control systems and Power electronics.

In remaining topics IIT Roorkee has followed almost the same weightage compared to last
year.

In general the overall difficulty level of the paper is moderate than last year.
