GATE Mechanical Engineering Question & Answer Key

Yes, in the GATE exam you can choose any paper/stream, regardless of your B.Tech or graduation branch there is no strict restriction. However,its recommended that should pick a paper in which you can perform well and which is accepted for the M.Tech or PSU roles you’re targeting. For example, a Mechanical Engineering graduate can appear for Computer Science, but admission eligibility for some M.Tech programs or PSU jobs may still require the original degree branch to match. So, while GATE lets you choose freely, your post-exam opportunities will depend on the institute’s or recruiter’s criteria.

Yes for sure if you graduate from ISI with a B.Math degree and clear GATE in Computer Science, you can apply for M.Tech programs in CSE-related fields at IISc and IITs. Most of these institutes accept candidates from any undergraduate discipline as long as they have a valid GATE CS score. However, some specializations or departments may have additional eligibility requirements, like prior coursework in programming, algorithms, or discrete mathematics. Since your B.Math background gives you a strong theoretical foundation, you’ll likely meet the academic criteria, but it’s best to check each IIT/IISc department’s brochure before applying.

Hello,

Yes, you can appear for the GATE, or Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering. Through this exam you can get admission to prestigious institutions like IITs and N for the M.Tech or Ph.D. program. After this exam you can even open doors for jobs in the public sector.

I hope it will clear your query!!

To prepare for GATE EE 2026, you need to follow a simple and smart study plan. First, understand the exam pattern. GATE EE has three parts. General Aptitude is for 15 marks, Engineering Mathematics is for around 13 marks, and the core Electrical Engineering subjects cover 72 marks.

Start by reading the official syllabus so you know what topics are there. Make a proper timetable. Divide your study time for each subject. Give more time to the subjects that you find difficult.

Use standard books for each subject. For example, you can study Electrical Machines from P.S. Bimbhra, Power Systems from C.L. Wadhwa, Control Systems from Nagrath and Gopal, and Signals and Systems from Oppenheim. For Aptitude, you can use RS Aggarwal or any GATE-specific book.

Start your preparation with General Aptitude and Engineering Mathematics because they are easy to score and will boost your marks. Then focus on the core subjects one by one. Always make notes while studying. These notes will help you revise quickly later.

Solve previous year GATE question papers. This will help you understand what kind of questions are asked. Also, take mock tests and topic-wise tests regularly. This will improve your speed and accuracy.

Make a habit of revising everything you study. Write down important formulas and keep reading them again and again. In the last three months before the exam, start giving full-length mock tests every week. Check your mistakes and try not to repeat them.

Be regular with your studies. Even if you study for a few hours daily, it will make a big difference. Stay focused and believe in yourself. You can do well if you are consistent.

Hello!

So,With your TGPGCET rank of 27 and GATE score of 410 you have good chances of getting admission in M.tech in CSE at JNTU under general category.

Last year M.tech computer science engineering closing rank was around 1,000 and your is 27 which far away from that. GATE qualified students also get preference.

So attend the counselling if you didn't got seat in first round then you will get it in the second round.

Electrical Circuits

Signals & Systems

Power Systems

Electrical Machines

Control Systems

Analog & Digital Electronics

Power Electronics

Electromagnetic Fields

Engineering Mathematics

Eligibility: Bachelor’s degree (final year or completed) in Engineering/Technology.

Admission Process:

Score is used for PG admissions (M.Tech, ME, MS) and PSU recruitment.

Exam Mode: Online (CBT)

Exam Duration: 3 hours

Question Types: MCQs, MSQs, and NATs

Total Marks: 100

Next Steps:

GATE 2026 application is expected to start in September 2025 on the official GATE portal.

• BITS Pilani

• VIT Vellore (Vellore Institute of Technology)

• SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai

• Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham

• Shiv Nadar University

• IIIT-Hyderabad (for select PG programs)

• DAIICT, Gandhinagar

• UPES Dehradun

• MIT-WPU Pune (MIT World Peace University)

• RV College of Engineering, Bangalore

A GATE score of around 253 is not enough for top IITs or NITs, but you can still get admission into some private engineering colleges, especially in less competitive branches like Civil or Production. However, you might not receive a monthly stipend and will have to manage most of the expenses on your own.
