The overall difficulty level of Shift 1 was moderate. The paper was not lengthy but tricky, requiring careful reading of the questions. Mathematics emerged as the most difficult subject, with concept-based and heavy calculation problems. Accuracy played a key role, and students who managed time well were able to attempt a good number of questions. |
Shift 2 was rated moderate in difficulty, but was the most time-consuming among all shifts. Mathematics and Quantitative Aptitude were the toughest sections, has multi-step and lengthy problems. Effective time management was crucial, and many students felt pressure to complete the paper within the allotted time. | Shift 3 was considered easy to moderate overall. However, Mathematics and Physics posed challenges due to tricky and concept-driven questions. The paper was slightly tricky rather than lengthy, and students with strong fundamentals found this shift more manageable, resulting in comparatively better attempts.

The toughest shift overall. Mathematics was lengthy and time-consuming, aptitude questions were tricky, and both physics and chemistry had difficult formula-based questions. Organic chemistry was particularly difficult, making the paper challenging. |
Moderately difficult. Mathematics was doable, and questions from physics, chemistry, and aptitude were manageable. Compared to the other shifts, this shift was relatively easier, though proper time management was still necessary. | Similar to the first shift in difficulty. Mathematics was lengthy, aptitude questions were tricky, and physics and chemistry included several difficult formula-based questions. Organic chemistry again felt difficult, contributing to the overall toughness |

1 Feb 2026 | The first shift was comparatively easier than the second shift, but still difficult when compared to last year’s AEEE paper. Questions were from expected chapters, though some were twisted. Overall difficulty was moderate to difficult. | The toughest shift among all three. Questions were more complex and time-consuming. Mathematics and science sections were lengthy, making time management challenging. This shift increased the overall difficulty level of today’s paper. | Similar to the first shift in difficulty. Slightly easier than the afternoon shift but tougher than the previous-year AEEE papers. Questions were from the same syllabus but with variations in difficulty. |
