Session-6, Feb 11, 2017, After Noon Slot, 02:00 PM -05:00 PM:
Good weightage were given to Core Subjects in the afternoon slot exam. Questions from Power Systems had been asked from particular areas of that subject only viz.Load Frequency Control, Transmission Lines & Load Flow Studies only. Questions from Power Electronics were a bit tough. As expected, most of the questions were NAT Type only. Even though questions were easy but it involved lengthy calculations.
