What is GATE Exam? Why it is important to score a good rank ?
GATE is conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and seven IIT’s at Roorkee, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Bombay on behalf of the National Coordination Board – GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resources.
The GATE score of a candidate reflects the relative performance level of a candidate. The score is used for admissions to various post-graduate education programs (e.g. Masters of Engineering, Master of Technology, Doctor of Philosophy) in Indian higher education institutes, with financial assistance provided by MHRD and other government agencies. Recently, GATE scores are also being used by several Indian public sector undertakings (i.e., government-owned companies) for recruiting graduate engineers in entry-level positions. It is one of the most competitive examinations in India. GATE is also recognized by various countries o outside India, such as Germany, Singapore.
Candidates with a valid GATE Score can avail the benefit of GATE financial assistantship. A stipend of INR 12,400-24,000 per month is provided to MTech students for 8 hrs of work per week. A monthly stipend of INR 25,000 for up to 2 years is provided to PhD students. For the next 2 years, the financial assistance may raises by INR 3,000.
Benefits of GETTING GOOD SCORE IN GATE
1. You can get admission in M. Tech/MS in IISc /IITs / NITs and other Universities depending upon your score.
2. Based on GATE Score, you can apply for some of the top PSUs which offer lucrative jobs.
3. You can get a financial aid of RS 12,500 to 15,000/- per month in the form of MHRD scholarship
4. With a good GATE score you can land in IISc /IITs / NITs where you can have abundant campus placements with attractive salary packages ranging from Rs 7 to 30 Lakh p.a.
5. You can shift to management side by doing PG Diploma of 2 year in Industrial engineering in NITIE Mumbai, where admission sare based on GATE score and interview.
6. If you don’t have first class in Engineering and if it is a hurdle to apply for some of the jobs like teaching, it can be overcome by doing M. Tech/ MS.
7. You can try for MS admissions based on GATE score in some of the foreign Universities like in Singapore, Germany and Malaysia.
8. More MNC companies recruit through campus recruitment in leading /Prestigious Institutes
9. Masters Degree is a must for those wishing to apply for Faculty/Research positions in Educational Institutes and most of the R& D centers
10. Gate Qualified candidates are also eligible for the award of Junior Research Fellowship in CSIR Laboratories and CSIR sponsored Projects but not the least, Masters Course changes the Individual’s thought process, teaches us how to approach and solve a problem in the totally new & unknown environment.

How do I prepare for GATE 2018 Civil Engineering?
Look the point I am trying to make is, it is perfectly fine to start from scratch and even then score a good rank in six months. As a piece of advise, I would like to mention following :
- Beginning- Civil engineering is vast. Coaching usually helps you filter what is relevant and what is not. To begin with, start with topics like SOM, Structures and Soil mechanics. They have a huge weightage in GATE and well as ESE. Focus on building concepts. Although the questions are mostly repeatative, but remembering over 2000 formulas (Yes that’s right!) requires you to have strong fundamentals.
- Study Material- Avoid books and refer to the study material of some coaching. IES Master and MadeEasy, both have an excellent material that comprehensively covers entire slybus. I would strictly say no to standard books.
- Short Notes- Making short notes, that has mostly the formulas are very useful in revising and keeping up you memory. You should try to include all those things that you tend to forget in your short notes. It can be a frequent but naive mistake that you make.
- Revision- This is the most important aspect of any competitive exam preparation. you should have dedicated time in your day for revising all that you have learnt. I used to revise from my short notes sometimes, other times just used to read notes, and sometimes just solving a few questions again.
- Previous Year Papers- This should be the bible to crack GATE. Mostly all the questions are repetitive but remember, the questions in GATE are new and requires fundamentals. Formula alone will not save your day. So focus on concepts but at the same time always keep the formulas on your finger tips.
- Avoid Distractions- Be strict with your timetable. Do not change it frequently. It decreases efficiency. Stop all forms of distractions. You only need to stop for six months and focus deeply on your studies. You should have a time table for the present day when you wake up, which should be made the previous night itself. Your goals for the day should not be overambitious. You will end up getting depressed it you couldn't complete them at the end of the day. On the other hand completing small goals everyday keeps you motivated. So assess your self and plan accordingly.
- Test Series- You have to follow it religiously. You need to treat it as the real test and write is seriously. Its very important to know what have you forgotten and which area need to be worked upon. Test series is the best way to help you understand.

What are the subjects needed for the GATE in civil engineering?
1.General Aptitude (15M)
2.Engineering Mathematics (12–15M)
3.Geotechnical Engineering (11-14M)
4.Environmental Engineering (8–10M)
5.Transportation Engineering (6–9M)
6.Strength of Materials (5–8M)
7.Surveying (4–6M)
8.Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (4–6M)
9.Hydrology (3–4M)
10.Structural Analysis (4–6M)
11.R.C.C. (3–4M)
12.Construction Management (2–4M)
13.Steel Structures (2–3M)
14.Irrigation (1–2M)
15.Engineering Mechanics (0–2M)
The above list is based on my observation and sometimes subjects like RCC, Steel & Structural Analysis gets much less weightage than expected to give more priority to Non-Structural subjects like FM&HM, Hydrology & Transportation.Concentrate more on 1–9 subjects as they are easy to score than subjects like SA and RCC. And prepare selected topics from Irrigation, Steel and Construction Materials and Management.
Hope this will help you !!

How a civil engineer can perform well in Gate exam ?
Just follow some simple steps I am going to tell you:
- Don’t get attached with structure analysis. It’s a huge waste of time for GATE purpose. Study only Determinacy /Indeterminacy.
- Don’t leave short and easy subjects like Survey, Irrigation, CPM, Hydrology for Steel/ RCC structure as combined they carry more marks than the latter and take very less time.
- I repeat DON’T ignore the aptitude part (Maths and aptitude). This portion is rank maker.
- Try to solve 6–7 previous year question paper of gate and IES objectives.
- Learn the concept of significant numbers as it helps you posting answers fro numeric type of questions and can gain you an edge over other students.
