GATE Syllabus for Civil

Civil Engineering is the oldest professional course which deals with the building, designing and maintaining, physically built environment including works like bridges, canals, roads, dams and buildings. It has been divided into several sub branches as- Geo-technical, Structural, Environmental, Transportation, Surveying, Coastal, Material and Construction Engineering. Civil Engineering has made its place at all levels. In public sector it has reached up to federal levels and in private sector from individual homeowners to international companies. It has lots of scope and opportunities in the private as well as public sector. Construction Industry is booming as there is tremendous growth in infrastructure development in various countries. Scope is also there in developing countries where infrastructure development is taking a toll and Indian engineers are in demand.
