Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) will take place in February 2020. GATE 2020 is being conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore and seven Indian Institutes of Technology (at Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee)

GATE score will be used for admission to Master’s programs and direct Doctoral programs in Engineering or Technology or Architecture and Doctoral programs in relevant branches of Science, in the institutions.

If you are someone who’s preparing for GATE Civil Engineering examination, then syllabus could be actually what you require. Read on to check the GATE 2020 Civil Engineering exam syllabus.
