What is Environmental Engineering? How to Prepare for the GATE Exam Syllabus for Civil Engineering?

Now, that you are preparing for the GATE Civil Engineering Exam, we’re here to discuss with you the next subject in the GATE exam syllabus for Civil Engineering, which is Environmental Science and Engineering. So, If we take a simple analysis of the weightage of marks given to this topic out of 65.00 then Environmental Science and Engineering will get 08.50 marks roughly, which is about 13% of the paper.

So, what makes the Environmental Science and Engineering question paper difficult for many students is that it includes concepts from various other subjects. Also, brought together to get an application-based solution.

Hence, Let’s proceed so that you can formulate a study plan by which we can tackle this subject and achieve a better GATE score.
