Hi



Both branches have almost similar syllabus. If you are mechanical student you can give GATE from production or vice versa.

However competition in mechanical is too high as compared to production.

You should first check what would you like to do after gate(check if the PSU or IIT accepts students from whichever branch you give exam from thee seats and cutoffs etc)

It's not just about clearing the exam.



Thankyou

dear student

For production engineering students they should prefer PI because all things they learn in four years of degree are asked in PI paper.

The students who are very interested in design can give from mechanical(ME). If you are giving from mechanical then you have to do lot of hard work for it. You have to study all the design part which is not usually covered in production syllabus.

You can get into IIT's from both the streams. You will have to select specialisation according to the paper.

If you are giving from PI then you can go for

Industrial engineering

Operation research

Manufacturing etc.

If you are giving from ME then you can go for

Design

Thermal

Automobile etc.

hope this helps

All the best!!!
