Subjects and weights
The REE is scored across 3 subjects. Each one counts toward your general average, so the reviewer gives every subject the depth its weight demands.
| Subject | Weight |
|---|---|
| Mathematics | 25% |
| Engineering Sciences and Allied Subjects (ESAS) | 30% |
| Electrical Engineering Professional Subjects | 45% |
| Total | 100% |
