IIT Kharagpur has released the brochure for the Mechanical Engineering GATE 2022 exam on its official web portal. The candidates need to score minimum qualifying marks which are called cutoffs in order to qualify in the GATE 2022.
- GATE Mechanical Engineering paper is divided into 3 sections and consists of a total of 65 questions. General Aptitude, Engineering Mathematics, and core subject are the 3 sections of the GATE ME paper but the General Aptitude section is common for every candidate.
- Core subjects have a weightage of 72%, General Aptitude 15% & 13% of Engineering Mathematics.
In this article, Gradeup will provide the Subject wise Weightage Of the GATE mechanical Engineering paper and the most important topics which were asked in previous years Examinations.

Benefits of Analysing Subject Wise Marks Weightage for GATE Mechanical Engineering.
- Utilize your time and effort to give the best possible output effectively.
- The importance of the subject as per the availability of the timing can be prioritised.
- The least important subject if there is a shortage of timing can be given less importance for your preparation.
- Go through the important aspect concepts of the least important subject as per the time availability.
