No my dear you are not eligible for GATE right now. The eligibility for appearing in
GATE exam is a degree in BTech or BE or BArch or a qualification equivalent to engineering
which is awarded by a professional organisation like AMIE.Students who have done their post
graduation degrees in science or maths or statistics or master in computer application are
also eligible for applying to GATE exam.Students who are in their final year of qualifying
examinations are also eligible. As such Students who are in the final year of their
engineering are eligible for applying to GATE.So you will be eligible for applying to
GATE next year. Meanwhile you can atleast start your preprations. Rememeber that GATE is
rated as one of the toughest examinations of our country. You can imagine that a exam which is
organised by the Indian institute of Technology and Indian institute of science will not be
a easy one.So start preparing from right now onwards.Best of luck.

There a main referance book for the GATE EXAM,as a GENIUS PUBLISUR.
N. K. is also a good book for the GATE EXAM.

you also prefer the R. S. AGGRAWAL for the quantitude apptitude.

so, these books are useful and helpful in GATE EXAM.

You have much time to prepare for Gate

Eligibility Criteria -

All those candidates who hold a Bachelor degree in Engineering/Technology/ Architecture are eligible for GATE
You will be eligible in the final year of your degree also but now a change has been made as pre final year students are not eligible now.

Since you have much time for it now I suggest you to use the standard books and clear your concepts with your studies. For example in your second year prepare all your subjects keeping the syllabus of GATE also in your mind. Then in third year prepare the subjects of Gate that you will study in third year also.

After this the final preparation will be through some solved papers the books of which can be easily found on any book depo

I am giving a list of some standard books of civil engineering which will help you in gate also. Check the Attachment.
