Environmental and water engineering opens the paper (Q1–24), covering water quality parameters, sewage treatment, air pollution, hydrology, groundwater, and fluid mechanics basics
Structural engineering forms the next big block (Q25–39, roughly), moving through strength of materials, beam deflections, steel design, and plastic analysis — numerically intensive with several formula-based and figure-based questions rather than pure definitional recall.
Building materials and construction technology (cement, TMT bars, reinforcement, welding, masonry, concrete) are scattered across Q34–41 and again Q85–96
Surveying and geomatics (Q43–52) covers chain surveying, leveling, traversing, curves, and photogrammetry — fairly standard and moderately calculation-heavy.
Geotechnical engineering appears in two clusters (Q53–56 and Q80–83), touching soil classification, bearing capacity, piles, and consolidation — including one applied numerical problem on consolidation time.
Transportation engineering is the single largest thematic block (Q57–68), covering highways, IRC standards, geometric design, curves, and pavements, followed immediately by railway engineering (Q69–74) — together these two make up nearly 20% of the paper, indicating strong weightage on transportation-related content
Hydrology and water resources bookend the paper, opening lightly and returning strongly at the end (Q75–76, Q99–100), with rain gauge design, precipitation methods, and hydrograph theory — reinforcing that water-related engineering is a recurring emphasis throughout.
Construction management and estimating (Q77–79, Q42) is a smaller but present theme, testing CPM/PERT and contractor bidding/costing logic.
