Im an aeronautical engineer, I have an aeronautical degree, not an mechanical degree, can i still take gate mechanical paper and crack and get a psu jobs or due to not having a mechanical degree, am i disqualified from the psu jobs
Hello Dear Student,
Yes, you can appear for the GATE Mechanical Engineering (ME) paper even if you have a B.E./B.Tech in Aeronautical Engineering , provided you meet the GATE eligibility criteria.
However, qualifying GATE ME does not automatically make you eligible for PSU jobs .
- GATE ME: You are eligible to take the Mechanical paper.
- PSU Recruitment: Most PSUs specify the required qualifying degree in their recruitment notifications. If a PSU asks for a B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering , candidates with an Aeronautical Engineering degree are generally not eligible , even if they have a good GATE ME score.
- Some PSUs may explicitly accept Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering or list it along with Mechanical. In such cases, you can apply if your degree matches the notification.
Hope it helps!
