Difficulty depends on the profs, but marking is usually lenient in subjective exams. Cutoffs for 10 generally close to 80.
Questions from PC Dumir often appear directly in the minor and major exams, although most of the questions are irrelevant and time consuming. Solve questions selectively (those which involve new ideas).
An amazing playlist by Prof. Sanjeev Sanghi of IITD covering the entire course is available on YouTube: Engineering Mechanics Playlist
