Hi, if you are looking forward to do masters in ES then you will have to work hard for paper 2 and not paper 1 that is Civil. The concept of 2 papers is you get to apply with both the GATE score card and whichever gets selected you can enroll through that. Yes, you can get into IITs if you have good score in ES and not in Civil as it won't matter much. So, my best bet would be that you concentrate on your paper2. Thank you.
