GATE 2021 Analysis for ME by THE GATE COACH
It is to be noted that the questions are based on the memory of the students. The official question papers will be available shortly after February 12, 2021. The analysis for the GATE 2021 ME Paper in session 1 & 2 has been mostly moderate to easy. Most of the questions were based on direct concepts. The weightage given to topics like Fluid Mechanics, Mechanical Precision Engineering and Strength of Materials was relatively higher when compared to earlier years. Most surprising in this paper was the General Aptitude section which was found to be comparatively tougher when compared to last year.
