The Electromagnetic and Radiation engineering has become one of the most sought after branches of engineering in the recent years. The reason is that heat transfer is a very important part of the various industrial processes. Apart from this the transmission and reception of the various signals as the electromagnetic waves used by the various satellites and other electronic equipments make it even more popular. The energy demands are increasing every day. And the fact that they are employing more and more people to meet the growing needs of the world is also an important factor. The subject follows the old pattern and provides knowledge about the several aspects of it in detail.

Importance of the paper

In order to be successful in the commercial sphere the candidates need to have a sound knowledge of the transfer of the radiation and the electromagnetic waves. The various methods that already exist might need a more efficient substitute Thus it is expected of the candidates  They should also be familiar with the existing materials used and the pros and cons of it to innovate new ways.

Format

If we speak of format, there is nothing special about this paper. Its a normal AMIETE paper with the same paper format.

Paper pattern and Markings
