The degree of engineering is a good choice for anyone who is interested in doing job in a multinational company or at a good post in a big company. Mechanical is a core branch which will never go out of the demand, job opportunities are good in this sector.

What is taught in this paper?

The paper is about the basic knowledge of mechanical engineering and the paper is about the concept of mechanics, the subject also comprises lots of numerical to enhance the understanding.

Importance of this subject:

The paper is important in engineering as it is a core paper and knowledge in this paper is required in almost every field. Basic concept is a must for everyone in engineering.

Paper Pattern:

The paper of Basic mechanical engineering is a technical paper and questions asked are of both subjective and numerical type. The questions asked are 12 and these questions are divided into 2 parts equally. There are 3 questions from each section is required to be attempted. The questions are of equal marks and questions are with sub-questions for the ease of students. Some questions in the paper are required to be attempted with diagram and sketches.
