Core engineering
Civil Engineering
Structures, soils, water and roads — plus GATE, PSUs and site-ready skills.
Core subjects with Aria
Read the notes, or pick a subject and Aria teaches it from the basics, with the formula first, units checked, and numericals worked step by step.
Engineering Mechanics
Equilibrium, friction, centroids, moment of inertia
Strength of Materials
Stress, strain, bending and shear, deflection
Structural Analysis
Determinacy, influence lines, moment distribution
Concrete & Steel Structures
Limit state design, beams, columns, connections
Geotechnical Engineering
Soil properties, consolidation, shear strength, foundations
Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulics
Pipe flow, open channels, hydraulic machines
Environmental Engineering
Water supply, treatment, sewage, pollution
Surveying & Construction
Levelling, curves, planning and management
GATE CE preparation
The GATE CE paper covers engineering mathematics, general aptitude and the subjects above. Take timed mocks marked the way GATE marks, or practise any subject with Aria.
PSUs, government jobs and core placements
Many PSUs shortlist engineers through GATE scores; others run their own exams. Recruiting PSUs, cut-offs and eligibility change every year — always check the official notification.
PSUs that have recruited through GATE
NHAI · NTPC · NHPC · AAI · PGCIL · IOCL
Other exams
- UPSC Engineering Services (ESE) — Civil
- State engineering services (e.g. MPSC)
Core companies
L&T Construction · Tata Projects · Shapoorji Pallonji · Afcons · Gammon
Company interview prep (15)Switch to IT
Plenty of Civil graduates get software jobs — service companies hire from every branch. This is the order that works when you haven't coded much.
- 1Aptitude first Every service company tests it before anything else.
- 2One language, properly Java from the basics, with Aria when you are stuck.
- 3DSA, pattern by pattern The problems that actually get asked, in order.
- 4SQL 240 problems on real schemas — a common test round.
- 5Your resume Import it, get an ATS check, fix weak bullets.
- 6Mock interviews Practise the interview before the interview.
