GATE Civil (CE) Mock Tests - Full Syllabus Practice

Break the wide GATE CE syllabus into subject tests, then run full papers with MCQ, MSQ and numerical answers and an on-screen calculator.

GATE Civil Engineering (paper code CE) is organised each year by one of the IITs or IISc and is used for M.Tech admissions and by several public sector undertakings for recruitment. Like every GATE paper it has 65 questions for 100 marks in 3 hours, with 15 of those marks from General Aptitude, but CE has one of the broadest core syllabi of any paper: structural, geotechnical, water resources, environmental and transportation engineering plus geomatics, on top of engineering mathematics. A practical plan is to cover that breadth with subject tests first, then switch to full-length mocks in the final months.

Frequently asked questions

65 questions for 100 marks in 3 hours. General Aptitude gives 15 marks and the remaining 85 come from engineering mathematics and the civil engineering subjects.
Only MCQs: one-third of a mark on 1-mark questions and two-thirds on 2-mark questions. MSQ and NAT questions have no negative marking.
GATE provides an on-screen virtual calculator. MegaExams can show a calculator during a mock so practice conditions match.
A GATE score is valid for three years from the date the results are announced.
Yes. Coaching institutes and college faculty can run CE subject tests and full mocks free.
