 PREFACE

Dear student,
In ESE 2017 prelims, "General Studies and Engineering Aptitude" paper 9 questions of 2 marks each
were asked from Engineering drawing. Percentage weight age of engineering drawing in ESE prelims comes
18
out to be 500 × 100 = 3.6%.Hence the subject plays an important role in success of students in ESE prelims
and cannot be neglected by serious students.
Table below gives topics of engineering drawing from which questions were asked in General
Studies and Engineering Aptitude paper ESE 2017 prelims
Topic Number of Questions asked
Conic Section 1
Special curves 2
Projection of Straight lines 1
Projection of solid 1
Section of solid 1
Development of surface 3
Official ESE 2017 syllabus of Engineering Drawing contains only one phrase "General principles of
drawing". As per my experience minimum syllabus to be studied is
1) Conic sections 8) Projection of solids
2) Special curves 9) Section of solids
3) Scales 10) Development of surface
4) Orthographic projection 11) Isometric projection
5) Projection of points 12) Conversion of pictorial views into
6) Projection of straight lines orthographic views
7) Projection of planes
Extra topics that can be studied are
1) Intersection of surfaces 3) Perspective projection
2) Oblique projection 4) AUTO CAD
The questions asked on engineering drawing in ESE 2017 were easy but original. Four questions were
based on solved examples found in standard text books of engineering drawing. The questions checked
1) Understanding of definitions and concepts
2) Practice done by students on conventional questions
3) Creative application of concepts &formulae
4) Visualization capacity
This first edition of the objective question bank on engineering drawing tries to cover most of the basic
concepts and their probable applications. In next edition I plan to add some more objectives on concepts left
to make the coverage complete. One word of caution, only solving questions in objective question bank is
not enough, student is advised to first master above topics from some standard text books, my you tube
channel "Khabiasir" etc. up to his satisfaction and then attempt the objectives.
Any suggestions to improve this objective question bank on engineering drawing will be gratefully
received. Answer key is purposely not given so that students are forced to update their knowledge to solve a
question. For doubts students can contact me on my Whatsapp number.
With best wishes
