Civil engineering is one of the oldest and most fundamental branches of engineering that deals with designing, constructing, and maintaining the built environment. To excel in this field, one must have a strong foundation in the basics of civil engineering. This is where the book “Civil Engineering (Conventional & Objective Type)” by RS Khurmi and JK Gupta comes in handy.

This comprehensive textbook covers all the essential concepts of civil engineering and is an excellent resource for students, professionals, and anyone interested in the field. The book is divided into two parts, the conventional type, which covers the theoretical concepts, and the objective type, which includes multiple-choice questions to test the reader’s understanding of the subject.

The authors have used simple language and included plenty of illustrations and diagrams to make the book easy to comprehend. Whether you’re preparing for competitive exams or looking to refresh your knowledge of civil engineering, this book is a must-have.

“Civil Engineering: Conventional and Objective Type” has been a trusted resource for more than 30 years. It offers a comprehensive text accompanied by a collection of multiple-choice questions, which makes it an ideal study material for aspirants of various competitive examinations, such as GATE, UPSC, IAS, IES, and SSC-JE, among others. Additionally, it’s also useful for students preparing for university examinations.

The latest edition has 17 chapters that cover all the essential concepts of Civil Engineering in a detailed and simplified manner. The questions in the book are well-curated from reliable sources to give students an idea of how the questions are structured and what type of questions to expect on the exam day.
