GATE Civil Engineering (CE) Syllabus
GATE CE Syllabus
Students appearing for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) can pursue Masters of Technology (M.Tech), Ph.D, Master of Science (M.S), or Masters in Engineering (M.E) from National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and Indian Institute of Science (IISc.) Bangalore. Furthermore, GATE score also helps students in procuring admission in Post Graduate Diploma in Project Management (PGDPM), Post Graduate Diploma in Manufacturing Management (PGDMM), and Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering (PGDIE) courses offered by the National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE), Mumbai.
Additionally, GATE score is also used to for gaining employment as Assistant Professor at NITs, IITs, and other reputed educational institutes. This score is also used by research organizations and Navratna and Maharatna Public Sector Units (PSUs) for recruiting engineers to various positions. Candidates can join BARC, DRDO, ISRO, IITs, CSIR, and other research institutes as Junior and Senior Research Fellow by using the score of this exam.
