ME Mathematics Review: Math, Engineering Economics, Basic Sciences (35%)
ME Mathematics Review: Math, Engineering Economics, Basic Sciences (35%)
Mathematics is the Day 2 subject of the ME board: a six-hour paper (8 AM–2 PM) worth 35%.
PRC's 2026 programs title the Day 2 subject simply Mathematics. Older reviewers bundle it with engineering economics and basic engineering sciences ("MEEBES"), so check your reviewer's scope against the current PRC syllabus.
Suggested practice split
PRC doesn't publish item counts per topic. This is our suggested share of your practice time, not an official breakdown:
