AFCAT 2014 2 EKT Mechanical Paper

The following is the AFCAT 2014 2 EKT Mechanical paper this exam was held on 31st August 2014. This was the first time that the EKT was held with AFCAT. EKT asks basics of the main engineering subjects of the concerned stream. EKT mechanical was basic in nature with few questions asked from the practical application.
