GATE is considered to be one of the toughest exams for the post graduate courses in various disciplines of engineering. The GATE CIVIL ENGINEERING PAPER is of three hours duration. The paper code is CE and it contains 65 questions all of which are multiple choice types. The questions have four alternative options but only one of them is correct. The details of the questions are given below:
Question 1- Question 25: 1 mark. Negative marking: 1/3 mark.
Question 26- Question 55: 1 mark. Negative marking: 2/3 mark.
Question 48- question 51: common data questions. Negative marking: 2/3 mark.
Question pair 52 and 53 and question pair 54 and 55 are known as linked questions. The first answer is the basis of the second answer.
If the first answer of the pair is correct then only the next answer will be evaluated. So negative marking will be for the first answer only, if answered wrong, since the next answer will not be evaluated at all.
The next four questions-56 to 60 are general aptitude questions, marks carried being 1. Negative marking is 1/3 mark.
The last five questions are also general aptitude questions, marks carried being 2. Negative marking is 2/3 mark.
