Summary Of The Book

GATE Civil Engineering Guide, published in 2013, is for candidates who are preparing for this tough competitive examination. The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an All India test for engineers whose score determines their admission into Indian educational institutes for higher studies. The exam is organized by the Indian Institutes of Technology and the Indian Institute of Science. Candidates can choose a particular subject on which they would like to write the test. Civil engineering is one such option. This field of study is the world’s second oldest engineering discipline, and involves the designing, construction and maintenance of infrastructure.

GATE is a three hour test that can be written online or offline. The syllabus for the civil engineering paper contains Mathematics, Surveying, and various other topics. The Math section covers Differential Equations, Numerical Methods, Linear Algebra, Complex Variables, Calculus, and Probability and Statistics. Environmental Engineering focuses on Air Pollution, Noise Pollution, Water Requirements, and Municipal Solid Wastes. Geotechnical Engineering includes Foundation Engineering, and Soil Mechanics. Other topics that are a part of the course content are Traffic Engineering, Hydrology, Concrete Structures, Highway Planning, Irrigation, and Mechanics. An important part of the Civil Engineering syllabus is Surveying, which includes Map Projections, Plane Table Surveying, Leveling, Coordinate System, and more.

GATE Civil Engineering Guide thoroughly covers topics like Strength of Materials, Vibration, Industrial Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, and Refrigeration.
