GATE tests the in-depth knowledge and practical knowledge of varied concepts. We at Arihant understand the needs of the students which require comprehensive chapter-wise study for in-depth understanding followed by thorough practice of the syllabi to master the concepts.

The present GATE tutor for GATE Civil Engineering has been divided into three sections namely General Aptitude, Engineering Mathematics and Civil Engineering, each sub-divided into number of chapters. The General Aptitude section covers Verbal Ability, Critical Reasoning and Numerical Ability. The Engineering Mathematics section has been divided into Linear Algebra, Calculus, Differential Equations, Complex Variables, Probability & Statistics, Numerical Methods and Transform Theory whereas the Civil Engineering section has been divided into twelve chapters namely Mechanics, Structure Analysis, Concrete Structure, Steel Structure, Geo technical Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics, Engineering Hydrology, Water Resource Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Transportation Engineering and Surveying.

The chapters cover unit-wise and topic-wise collection of theory and question answers. The whole coverage of the syllabi in the book has been kept identical to the format of the exam including relevant study material and variety of questions with their complete solutions. Each chapter in the book contains ample number of solved problems which have been designed on the lines of questions asked in previous years’ GATE Civil Engineering. Also unsolved practice questions have been covered under the Unit Exercise sections. The exercises contain questions as per the GATE pattern i.e. 1 mark questions, 2 marks questions and common data & linked answer questions. The books contain Unit-wise Numerical Answer Type Questions and newly added topics in questions. The book also contains last six years’ (2012-2017) solved papers of original online GATE Civil Engineering to give the aspirants an insight into the trends of questions asked in GATE Examination. This book also contains focused study material for General Aptitude and Engineering Mathematics. At the end of the book, the newly added topics in GATE syllabus have also been provided along with five Mock Tests to help aspirants practice and self analyse their level of preparation for the upcoming GATE Civil Engineering 2017. The book comes with a free CD containing Online Mock Tests for GATE Civil Engineering.

As the book contains ample study and practice material, it for sure will help aspirants achieve success in the upcoming GATE Civil Engineering Exam 2018.
