Books for GATE Civil Engineering 2022 :

I would suggest you to prepare for the GATE exam simultaneously with your college study.

Analyze the previous year's GATE Civil Engineering question papers and find the most scoring topics, most frequently asked topics, then study these topics along with your current semester subjects.

The following list consists of some popular books which you can refer to :

Engineering Mathematics -

  • Higher Engineering mathematics by B.S. Grewal

  • Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Erwin Kreyszig

Structural Engineering -

  • Theory of Structure by CK Wang, S. Rammamrutham, L.S. Negi & Jangit

  • Theory of Elasticity by Timoshenko & Gere

  • Strength of Materials/Mechanics of Structure by Gere & Timoshenko

  • Soil Mechanics by Gopal Ranjan & Rao,Venkat Ramaiha,S. K. Garg,
