GATE Preparation

GATE Study Material for Civil Engineering

In this post I tried to compile the results of a survey conducted on inspire n ignite in 2009. Usually only very standard books used by many students in India for GATE preparation was referred by them.

Please refer to GATE study material to learn about the use of multiple books for GATE preparations. You would also find GATE preparation guide helpful for understanding GATE preparation and M.Tech admission process.

Apart from these, at least 1.5 months before the exam one must solve GATE previous years questions. These are available in net..so do google…or one can by from GK publishers…and also i would suggest all aspirants to be part of different forums. One can learn a lot about GATE, cutoffs, courses etc… Saikat Sengupta

Only few students participated in GATE study material survey for civil engineering. Here I have a list of standard books GATE preparation for Civil Engineering. We the whole student community is thankful to Saikat Sengupta and Mohammed Anwar Ansari for their contribution.
