This year GATE has launched two new papers. One of them is Environmental Science and Engineering (ES).
It opens up opportunities into Environmental Science studies. You will not have to study irrelevant subjects like structures to write this paper. It is purely on environmental-related studies. You can choose this as your primary paper in GATE if it interests you.
