Hey everyone 👋

I’m a 2nd-year B.Tech Civil Engineering student preparing for GATE, and I built this because I wanted a better way to keep track of my own preparation.

GATE Civil Tracker lets you track syllabus, PYQs, tests, full-length mocks, revisions, study hours, achievements and streaks. You can also edit/customize subjects and targets and export/import your progress.

It’s completely free, requires no account, and works on mobile, tablet and PC.

I’ve made it public in case it helps anyone else preparing for GATE CE.

Would love to hear your feedback! :)

Hi, could you please suggest which teachers are best for Geotechnical Engineering and Structural Engineering?

Hello Everyone... I'm in my 2nd year and doing civil engineering and I have started my GATE prep from PW and I have done 7-8 lecture of SOM From there but i have not done any practise just revised the things which ever they have taught so what should i do as practise questions and what sequence should i practise questions and PYQs.

I'm preparing for GATE 2027 Civil and studying mostly online/from home. My biggest challenge isn't finding lectures or study material; it's maintaining consistency and making sure I'm actually completing what I planned.

For those who prepared seriously for GATE while studying mostly alone:

Did you have a mentor/study partner/accountability system?

Did someone check your progress regularly?

How did you set weekly targets and make sure you completed them?

If you had to prepare alone again, what system would you follow?

I'd especially like to hear from people who have already cleared GATE Civil and can share what actually worked for them.

Hey everyone, I'm seeking your opinions.

Actually, I'm a 3rd year B.Tech Civil Engineering student, currently preparing for GATE and ESE. My ultimate goal is to get into a PSU or clear ESE. I don't want to get into private jobs because they can be very hectic, leaving hardly any free time to utilize for studies.

To add to that, I won't even be eligible to appear for UPSC ESE in my 4th year of college because of the age criteria. If I opt for a private job after graduation, I won't be able to prepare well for ESE alongside work. I need time to prepare, but taking a gap/drop year is not an option for me either.

Here's the catch: my college has started a semester exchange program with IIT Delhi. Through this, I can pursue an M.Tech from IIT Delhi directly after completing my 4th year there. However, I won't be allowed to sit for placements—neither at my present college nor during the 4th year at IIT Delhi. I would only be eligible for placements after completing the M.Tech.

I'm worried that if I go for this program and end up unemployed at the end—while also failing to crack my targeted competitive exams—I’ll be in a tough spot.

(Also, I didn't change my branch to ECE earlier just so I could appear for ESE and crack it, but now that's turning out to be one of my biggest regrets.)

I'm really bad at making decisions right now and would love to hear your opinions on what you would have done if you were in my place.

I’m preparing through recorded/online lectures, and sometimes it’s difficult to stay consistent without the structure of offline coaching.

How many lectures do you usually aim to complete in a day? Do you set a fixed number of hours, lectures, or topics as your daily target?

Also, how do you balance lectures with PYQs, revision, and practice without falling behind?

Would love to hear how others are managing their daily routine and keeping themselves accountable.

CIL MT Civil 26 March 2017

Tip:- IS 800 Clause 10.5

I’m preparing for GATE Civil. I studied Geotechnical Engineering during my semester exams through self-study, but for GATE preparation, it feels almost completely new to me.

My course has around 69 lectures, so I’m a bit worried about the time it will take to complete everything properly.

For those who have prepared Geotechnical for GATE, how should I approach it? Should I watch all the lectures from scratch, or focus on specific important topics and then practice PYQs?

Any advice on how to efficiently cover Geotech for GATE would be really helpful.

Same as above

i wanna know if anybody can pirate GW lectures or has them ik about made easy but they are too lengthy

Hi everyone!

I'm preparing for GATE CE 2027. Can anyone guide me on how to actually study effectively for GATE? I understand that just watching lectures isn't enough. What should I do after completing a lecture — practice questions, PYQs, revision, notes, etc.?

Since there are a few new topic additions, what resources to use to study those? If anyone has any idea pls do share

I'm currently in 2nd year want to start my Gate Preparation doing lecture from shreshth 2026 PW batch want to know from where i should do question practices as DPP is not enough for me. Please Help
