Introduction
The CUET Engineering Graphics is a domain-specific test that is used for admission to undergraduate programs in engineering graphics. The test covers a wide range of topics, including:
- Basic geometrical concepts
- 2D and 3D drawing
- Projections
- Dimensioning and tolerancing
- Computer-aided drafting (CAD)
- Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)
- Engineering drawing standards
The test is divided into two sections: Section I: Engineering Graphics and Section II: Quantitative Aptitude. Section I covers the basic concepts of engineering graphics, such as basic geometrical concepts, 2D and 3D drawing, and projections. Section II covers quantitative aptitude concepts, such as data interpretation, problem-solving, and logical reasoning.
The CUET Engineering Graphics is a challenging test, but it is also an important step for students who want to pursue a career in engineering graphics. By preparing thoroughly for the test, students can increase their chances of success.
Engineering Graphics Syllabus CUET 2023
Unit 1: Construction of isometric scale showing main divisions of 10mm and smaller divisions of 1mm, also showing the leading angles.
Isometric projection (drawn to isometric scale) of solids such as cube; regular prisms and pyramids (triangular, square, pentagonal and hexagonal); cone; cylinder; sphere; hemisphere; keeping the base side of the solid parallel orperpendicular to HP/VP. The axis of the solid should be either perpendicular to HP / VP or parallel to HP and VP.
Unit 2: Combination of any two above-mentioned solids keeping the base side parallel or perpendicular to HP/VP and placed centrally together (Axis of both the solids should not be given parallel to HP).
Machine Drawing (Machine Parts)
Unit 3: Drawing to full size scale with instruments. Introduction of threads: Standard profiles of screw threads – Square, Knuckle, B.S.W., Metric (external and internal); Bolts – Square head, Hexagonal head; Nuts – Square head, Hexagonal head; Plain washer; combination of nut and bolt with or without washer for assembling two parts together.
