GATE Production and Industrial Engineering Syllabus 2020 : GATE PI Syllabus Download

Last Updated on September 19, 2019 by ePostbag

Indian Institute of Technology Delhi which conducts GATE 2020, has recently released the notification and the syllabus for all the 25 papers of the exam. As a part of it, GATE Production Engineering Syllabus PDF 2020 is also uploaded in the official website. Candidates applied for the PI paper and looking for the syllabus can now check the detailed syllabus and information regarding the PI paper here.

GATE PI Syllabus

GATE Production and Industrial Engineering paper has a paper code as PI. The syllabus for this paper is divided in to seven sections under which the topics and the sub-topics are categorized. All those sections are, Engineering Mathematics, General Engineering, Manufacturing Processes I, Manufacturing Processes II, Quality and Reliability, Industrial Engineering and, Operations Research and Operations Management. Every topic of this paper is important to top in the exam. Along with the GATE Syllabus for Production and Industrial Engineering, candidates should also know the GA syllabus.

The GATE Production Engineering Syllabus paper also includes few questions from the General Aptitude (GA) section. The questions from verbal ability and numerical ability of the GA would be asked in the production and industrial engineering paper. You can see the detailed syllabus of the GA available in our website. Also, few sample questions of GA are given in the official PDF which you can download from official website.
