MADE EASY has always been a success partner for engineers right from the onset of engineering education up to they get a formal tag of engineer. B. Singh (Ex. IES) Owing to needs of students to utilise this opportunity in a fruitful way, it gives me great happiness to introduce the first edition of the Civil Engineering Practice book for RRB-JE Examination. While preparing this book utmost care has been taken to cover all the chapters and variety of concepts which may be asked in the exam. It contains more than 3800 multiple choice questions with answer key and detailed explanations, segregated in subject wise manner to disseminate all kind of exposure to students in terms of quick learning. Attempt has been made to bring out all kind of probable competitive questions for the aspirants preparing for RRB-JE. This book also help every student to perform in an extraordinary way. Full efforts have been made by MADE EASY team to provide error free solutions and explanations. The book not only covers the syllabus of RRB-JE but also useful for other examinations conducted by various Public Service Commissions. Our team has made their best efforts to make the book error-free. Nonetheless, we would highly appreciate and acknowledge if you find and share any printing/conceptual error. It is impossible to thank all individuals who helped us, but I would like to sincerely acknowledge all the authors, editors and reviewers for putting in their efforts to publish this book. B.
