More questions on small signal analysis mode and anlog circuits.
Networks 4-6 question
switching theory nearly 2-3 questions only

All in all who excell in technical can win in the race ultimately...since more weightage nearly 63% technical..
In GK safe side seems to be nearly 14 and Reasoning 28 min can be done...so above those amy have more chances...
All this Im writing cause this may help who r going to give exam and also for future recruitment that time dis may throw some light for aspirants...
