GATE 2024 Aerospace Engineering details that include exam date, syllabus, pattern and previous year question papers can be checked here. Around 6,000 candidates appear for the GATE AE paper every year. 
GATE 2025 Aerospace Engineering

GATE 2025 Aerospace Engineering: IIT Roorkee is conducting the GATE exam 2025 for 30 papers. GATE AE (Aerospace Engineering) is one of the least opted papers with an average of 6,000 takers every year. On the other hand, AE seats in M.Tech are limited, and therefore the competition for admission is high despite the fewer takers for the entrance exam. The GATE Aerospace Engineering syllabus 2025 includes 6 sections namely Engineering Mathematics, Flight Mechanics, Space Dynamics, Aerodynamics, Structures, and Propulsion. Students opting for the Aerospace Engineering paper of GATE 2025 can also choose one more subject as the second combination. The GATE AE exam 2025 will be conducted in CBT mode and include MCQ and NAT-type questions. Candidates preparing for the GATE exam should study the completed GATE AE syllabus 2025 and solve the previous year's papers, mock tests, and sample papers.
