How to Prepare for GATE 2022 Civil Engineering (CE)

GATE 2022 will be conducted by IIT Kharagpur. Civil Engineering is the most opted branch of Engineering as it has a lot of Government Jobs opportunities. Many PSUs and even in ESE, the maximum vacancies are for Civil Engineers which make GATE highly competitive in nature. Also, while preparing for the GATE Exam, priority to some specific subjects can be given like Fluid Mechanics, Geotech, Strength of Materials and Environment Engineering as these are the main subjects and a student must have a deep understanding of these subjex`cts to solve GATE level questions.
