Frequently asked questions
Is this GATE Mechanical Engineering material free?
Yes. Every chapter is free to read in English and Hindi. A free account adds scored practice, the full-length ME mock test in the real 65-question pattern, and the AI mentor.
How much of the GATE ME syllabus is covered?
The whole paper: 11 Engineering Mathematics chapters as this paper's syllabus words them, and 10 chapters across all 3 discipline sections. General Aptitude is shared by every paper.
What is the GATE exam pattern?
65 questions for 100 marks in 180 minutes: General Aptitude for 15 marks and the paper for 85. A wrong MCQ costs a third of its marks; MSQ and NAT questions carry no negative marking.
