i agree wid paddy.dude.......aieee was toughtest of all years....and the pattern was a complete shock to everyone.......so i think v can expect better ranks....but wat i'm scared of is different tutorials give diff sol so its difficult to estimate the marks

i feel one must try to expect the least possible rank so that when results r announced and if by sum bad luck cutoffs tend to be on the higher side, u won't feel that bad. and if cutoffs fall more than u expected..cheers and enjoy !

as far is difficulty is concerned this yr the aieee paper was definitely tougher. but i feel we must be prepared for the worst.
