Preface
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is one of the primarily tests for various undergraduate subjects—
Engineering/Technology/Architecture and postgraduate level for Science. The GATE examination pattern has undergone
several changes over the years—sometimes apparent and sometimes subtle. It is bound to continue to do so with changing
technological environment.
GATE Previous Years’ Solved Question Papers for Mechanical Engineering acts as a practice material for GATE aspir-
ants to strengthen their conceptual understanding and application skills. The book includes more than 27 years, GATE
questions segregated topic-wise along with exam analysis which is provided at the beginning of every unit. This book helps
the GATE aspirants to get an idea about the pattern and weightage of questions asked in GATE examination.
Owing to multifaceted opportunities open to any good performer, the number of aspirants appearing for the GATE
examination is increasing significantly every year. Apart from giving the aspirant a chance to pursue an M.Tech. from
institutions such as the IITs /NITs, a good GATE score can be highly instrumental in landing the candidate a plush public
sector job, as many PSUs are recruiting graduate engineers on the basis of their performance in GATE.
