Comments on paper:

 IN paper has more concept based questions.

 Compared to last year, in Digital circuits and Communication weightage has come down
while it is increased in Signals and systems, Networks, Analog circuits and Measurements.

 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 easier than last year.
