GATE 2022: Check Previous Years' Civil Engineering Difficulty Level & Expected Topic-Wise Weightage

The GATE 2022 exam is scheduled to be conducted by IIT Kharagpur on the 05th, 06th, 12th and 13th February for students seeking admission into various postgraduate programmes offered at IITs , IISc and institutes of national repute. The GATE 2022 civil engineering exam will be conducted on 12th February in two shifts. The purpose of this piece is to provide the upcoming GATE exam candidates with the previous year’s GATE civil engineering difficulty level and topic-wise weightage.

Last year, the GATE Civil Engineering exam was conducted on 06th January in two shifts. With the help of the previous year’s GATE civil engineering analysis of the difficulty level and topic-wise weightage, we will try to find out this year’s expected difficulty level and weightage each topic might receive.

Previous Year GATE Civil Engineering Difficulty Level and Weightage
