Though every candidate has ability to succeed but competitive environment, in-depth knowledge, quality guidance and good source of study is required to achieve high level goals, B. Singh (& IES) The new edition of GATE 2024 Solved Papers : Civil Engineering has been fully revised, updated and edited. The whole book has been divided into topiowise sections. ‘At the beginning of each subject, analysis of previous papers are given to im- prove the understanding of subject. Ihave true desire to serve student community by way of providing good source of study and quality guidance. | hope this book will be proved an important tool to ‘succeed in GATE examination. Any suggestions from the readers for the improve- ment of this book are most welcome. B. Singh (Ex.
