“Questions of IES paper 2 of mechanical were moderate in nature concept wise. But, the calculation part of the questions were tough and time-taking. This made it difficult to score much marks. Many questions were calculative. In paper 1, questions were asked majorly from project management, ethics, ICT , robotics and mechatronics,” said Ashish Kumar, a candidate who appeared in the exam in Delhi.
