In the Self-Finance mode, candidates are selected based on a written test (based on GATE syllabus) and interview conducted by the institute. The Self-Finance mode has 10 seats and higher fees (Rs. 50,000 tuition per semester vs Rs. 35,000 for CCMT General/OBC).
Ques. What is the GATE paper required for M.Tech Construction Technology at NIT Warangal?
Ans. The relevant GATE paper is Civil Engineering (CE). Candidates must have a valid GATE score in CE to apply through CCMT. GATE scores from the last three years (2024, 2025, 2026) are accepted for CCMT 2026 counselling. The GATE CE paper covers topics like Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Transportation Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Construction Materials, all of which are relevant to this specialisation.
