Comments on GATE 2017 Electrical Engineering session I by GateForum
- EE paper I has both formula based and concept based questions.
- Compared to last year, in Measurements weightage has come down while it is increased in Analog circuits 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 easy than last year.
