As compared to the AIEEE 2005, this year's paper saw a reduction in the number of difficult questions from 25% last year to about 15% this year. About 40% of the questions were fairly simple or straightforward requiring direct use of formula/result or law. The balance questions were of moderate level of difficulty.

AIEEE 2006 was easier than AIEEE 2005, but was certainly not a cakewalk. A student getting between 200 and 220 marks overall can expect a national rank of about 10000 or so, which of course is decent enough for getting a seat at a reasonably good college.
