its the best concept builder when u have only short time to prepare for GATE. i used books by gkp and vikas slariya, and frankly i would rank this one 1st and slariya 2nd in clearing the concepts. i can assure you with adequete time and arihants book, u can clear this exam.

Good book to prepare for GATE and better than GKp in some areas.
I have analyzed both these books along with many other publishers in hand at Sapna Book House for about 2 hours.
U can also give a try and choose.

But we know " In this world any option will always be better than the other."
So trust any1 publisher and focus on full preparation utilizing the source.

Gate book for mech engg provided by arihant publication is excellent and the quality is superb. u cant get better than this combo offer at this price with a cd free for practice.like gate 2014 will be compulsory online so this cd helps to practice for online exam.all the syllabus has been covered in this book with all key points.

CD which was provided with the book was broken....👿👿👿

This set of two books is a very good for the preparation of GATE for Mechanical Engineering aspirants. This book covers almost all the syllabus for GATE (ME). In the Solved Papers Set, there is a controversy in two or three concepts, which must be decided by the reader. On the whole, this is a quick reference for the Mechanical Engineering aspirants for GATE 2014.
