GATE 2020: syllabus Mechanical Engineering

PUBLISH DATE 24th October 2019

Mechanical Engineering is perhaps the oldest and most diverse discipline in engineering. If you are an aspiring Mechanical Engineer who is seeking admission or financial assistance to Master’s programs and direct Doctoral programs in Engineering or Technology or Architecture and Doctoral programs in relevant branches of Science, then you probably would be preparing for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2020.

GATE 2020 would be conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore and seven Indian Institutes of Technology (at Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) in February 2020.

Candidates who are preparing for GATE 2020 Mechanical Engineering exam can check the detailed syllabus here.
