For more than 30 years, "Mechanical Engineering: Conventional and Objective Type" has remained a thorough text that is aided by a set of multiple-choice questions designed specifically for candidates of various competitive examinations, including those for the GATE, UPSC, IAS, IES, and SSC-JE, among others, as well as students preparing for university exams. Each key mechanical engineering idea is fairly covered in each of the 17 chapters in the new edition. In contrast, the questions in this book have been chosen from a variety of strong sources to give students a sense of how the questions are structured and what kinds of questions to anticipate on the last day.
