Insight of the paper:

The WBUT Instrumentation Engineering 1st Sem Engineering Mechanics (ME 101) Paper basically deals with the study of the mechanism of the entire normal and natural phenomenon taking place all over the world and all over the universal. The topic is very much similar to that of physics; however, the approach and the in depth study on the mechanisms makes it different from physics.

Examination:

The examination has questions from almost all the sections of the syllabus. The question paper has both numerical as well as theoretical questions. Equal weight age is given to both these kinds of questions. However, the theoretical questions are also sometimes practical applications of a formula or derivation.

Paper Pattern:

The total marks of the paper are 70. There are all together 12 questions. Out of which the candidates are required to answer only 6. Apart from it there are also 12 MCQs out of which one needs to do at least 10. The paper is divided in to three sections. Section A has 12 MCQs out of which candidates are required to answer any 10. Each MCQ is of 1 mark each. The section B has 6 questions of 5 marks each. Candidates require answering any 3. The last section has long answer type questions of 15 marks each. There are all together 6 questions out of which the candidate need to answer any 3.
