GATE 2021 Environmental Science Questions
The paper had more conceptual questions rather than memory-based questions. A clear understanding of topics was required to attempt the questions.
We stressed more on MSQs in our ES tests with about 8 questions in our full-length tests. It turned out to be useful, as the GATE paper had about 10-12 MSQs
Aptitude and Mathematics turned out to be easy and direct questions were asked from these subjects.
There was a good emphasis on NATs with 12-15 questions asked, especially from subjects like Solid Waste Management, Water & Waste Water Engineering and Environmental hydraulics.
The major topics covered by the question paper are:
The concentration of ions and pH of a solution
Municipal Solid Waste Management
F/M ratio and sludge volume
Disinfection
Specific energy and Open Channel Flow
Fick's diffusion
Hierarchy of Solid Waste Management
Primary and Secondary Pollutants
Electron transfer system (ETS) in aerobic organisms
