Civil Engineering is one of the core or primary subjects for GATE 2024. It covers a wide range of topics and concepts based on which the questions in the exam will be asked. The GATE syllabus for Civil Engineering will help students enhance their exam preparations and also help them plan their studies accordingly. Also, they can focus more on the areas where they are weak. Topics covered in Civil Engineering are structural analysis, design of concrete and steel structures, soil mechanics, foundation engineering, hydraulic engineering, hydrology, wastewater treatment, and transportation planning. It also consists of essential topics like probability and statistics, linear algebra, calculus, numerical methods, and differential equations.

You can get a seat in Computer Science and Engineering even at 12000 rank in Vellore campus but you will have to pay the category 5 fee that is 5 Lacs per annum while if you come under 3000 rank you would be placed under category 1 that has a fee structure of 2 Lacs per annum. And other states that you can definitely get CSE in VIT Vellore main campus as well as in Chennai campus. Getting CSE in category 1 will be difficult for Vellore campus but you can get category 1 CSE seat in VIT Chennai. You can also get CSE in VIT Vellore in 2nd category. The tuition fee for category 1 is around 1.98LPA and for category 2 it is around 3LPA. I hope this helps. Let me know if you want me to help you with anything else.
