DifficultyLevelofQuestionsfromElectronicDeviceswasveryhighasmostofthemwereappearedfromtheconceptsofTransportofcarriers,DevicePhysics,Capacitance
of junctions, Built in potential of junctions, MOSFET currents. Analog Electronics questions were easy to solve as they were from OPAmp, Small signal analysis of BJT,
Feedbackamplifiers.

Microprocessors,Kmaps,FSMtopicswerecoveredinDigitalElectronics.MostofcommunicationsquestionswerefromDigitalCommunicationstopics.InElectromagnetics,
questions were asked from Antennas, Wave propagation. In Control Systems most of the questions were asked from Frequency analysis. Overall questions from Signals

Outof65questions24areNumericalAnswerType(NAT)and41areMultipleChoiceQuestions(MCQ's).60%ofthequestionssimilartopreviousyearmodels.

The question paper has no changes compared to previous year, It look same as Mock test given in GATE 2017 Website.The calculator is same as given in website, but
