GATE Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (NM)

Your mathematics is two paragraphs with no sub-headings, and it is close to the whole engineering list. Determinants, matrices, linear systems and eigenvalues are the Linear Algebra chapter; "functions" and "definite and indefinite integrals" are the borrowed calculus chapters; chain rules, partial and directional derivatives and the whole of vector calculus with Stokes, Gauss and Green are Multivariable Calculus and Vector Calculus. Your differential equations are "linear, non-linear, first and higher order, ordinary and partial", with separation of variables: the borrowed first-order chapter and the Differential Equations chapter, which also carries your Laplace transformation. Analytic functions and complex analysis are named, so the Complex Variables chapter is yours in full. Your syllabus names Fourier series but no Fourier or z-transform, so read the first section of the Transforms chapter and stop there. Numerical integration and probability and statistics are in the shared chapters. Two of your sub-items are in a chapter written for this paper alone, because no shared chapter teaches them: numerical methods for differentiation (difference formulas, their errors and Richardson extrapolation) and the non-linear first-order equations — exact equations with integrating factors, and the Bernoulli equation. All four of this paper’s discipline sections are written too, two chapters each — Applied Mechanics and Structures, Fluid Mechanics and Marine Hydrodynamics, Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, and Thermodynamics and Marine Engineering — so the whole NM paper is covered and the full 65-question paper is available in the mock.

Frequently asked questions

Is this GATE Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering material free?

Yes. Every chapter is free to read in English and Hindi. A free account adds scored practice, the full-length NM mock test in the real 65-question pattern, and the AI mentor.

How much of the GATE NM syllabus is covered?

The whole paper: 13 Engineering Mathematics chapters as this paper's syllabus words them, and 8 chapters across all 4 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.
