ME- forenoon

Question paper is one of Hardest paper as compared to last 3-4 years
All questions are memory-based reviewed by students GATE Mechanical engineering question paper 2020 was one of the toughest paper of the last 3-4 years. Few questions r direct formula based questions. The weightage of thermodynamics, Manufacturing, and strength of materials was quite high. In Thermodynamics, more questions were asked from power plant engineering, Internal combustion engine. The level of questions in manufacturing was quite good. The questions of industrial engineering were very lengthy.
