GATE Study Material for Mechanical Engineering

In this post I tried to compile the results of a survey conducted on inspire n ignite in 2009. Usually only very standard books used by many students in India for GATE preparation was referred by them.

Please refer to GATE study material to learn about the use of multiple books for GATE preparations. You would also find GATE preparation guide helpful for understanding GATE preparation and M.Tech admission process.

We, the whole Inspire n Ignite community, are thankful to Pawan D Hajare, Nikhil, Versha and Sanveer Singh Puri for their generous contribution to student community all across the nation.

The best study books for preparing GATE in mechanical engineering are as below.

In this post, I tried to compile the results to the best possible way to help students. If you find something wrong or missing please do not hesitate to drop a comment. Your suggestion and comments would help thousands of students across the nation.

Do never hesitate to ask a question, some us of would definitely answer your queries. On the same time I would recommend you to used search on the site to find out if we have already discussed it. There are many things that we have already talked about and visitor asks them again and again.

Do subscribe to the updates on GATE and M.Tech admission and other engineering information. You can share this with other friends by clicking the share button on face book and also like the inspire n ignite page to get updates in facebook feeds.

Wish you all a great luck ahead. Keep working hard and realize the dreams.
