Comments on GATE 2017 Civil Engineering session II by GateForum
CE paper II has more Numerical type of questions
Compared to last year, in Fluid Mechanics weightage has come down while it is increased in Solid Mechanics
In remaining topics IIT Roorkee has followed almost the same weightage compared to last year.
In general the overall difficulty level of the paper is Moderate than last year
