Hello dear aspirant.

Yes you can surely appear for gate ECE paper though if you are a mechanical engineering scholar.

Any student of any stream can apply for any stream gate paper. Like most people think that cs branch is relatively easier for gate so many other branch students apply for this too as per their comfort zone.

Ok good luck.
