Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around identifying important subjects for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) specifically for mechanical engineering. Participants explore various subjects and their weightage in the exam context.
Discussion Character
- Homework-related
- Technical explanation
Main Points Raised
- One participant asks about the important subjects for GATE mechanical.
- Another participant suggests a practical approach to understanding important subjects by testing and identifying failure modes in engineering designs.
- A clarification is made regarding the acronym "GATE," confirming it stands for Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering.
- A later reply lists subjects along with their average weightage, including Production Technology, Engineering Mathematics, General Aptitude, and others, with specific marks associated with each subject.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree on the subjects relevant to GATE mechanical, but there is no consensus on the methodology for determining their importance beyond the provided weightage.
Contextual Notes
The discussion does not address the assumptions behind the weightage provided or the criteria for selecting subjects, leaving these aspects unresolved.

What exactly do you mean by GATE ?
My general answer is to challenge you to make a GATE, test it to failure, then identify the mode of failure. If it does not fail, build another GATE on a lower budget and break that by using it under normal operating conditions. Continue that process until you cannot reduce the cost and you will know the important subjects. A good engineer will do it all in her head.

Hi Virat,
From GATE perspective I am writing the subjects as per their average weightage
1:Production Technology.(18-20 Marks)
2:Engineering Mathematics.(12-15 Marks)
3:General Aptitude (15 Marks)
4:Industrial Engineering and operations research (8-9Marks)
5:Fluid Mechanics(8-9Marks)
6:SOM (8-10Marks)
5:Thermodynamics,RAC(12-14 Marks)
6:Machine Design(5-6 Marks)
7:Engineering Mechanics (3-4 Marks)
8:Theory of machines (8-10 Marks)
