MbPA AEE & EE Civil Syllabus 2026
Subject-wise and chapter-wise MbPA AEE & EE Civil syllabus: 19 subjects, 231 chapters across Technical — Civil Engineering and Reasoning, General Awareness & IT and Quantitative Aptitude and English Language.
ℹ️ Official: four objective tests in English — Technical 60 questions / 120 marks / 50 minutes, Reasoning, General Awareness and Information Technology 30 / 30 / 25, Quantitative Aptitude 25 / 25 / 25, English Language 25 / 25 / 20 — 140 questions, 200 marks, 120 minutes, with one-fourth of a question's marks deducted for each wrong answer, and at least 35% in each test and 35% overall. Mumbai Port Authority has NOT published a syllabus — the notice says only "Technical questions (subject related)". The topics below are a practice guide we compiled: standard B.E. civil engineering, plus port and marine structures because the notice lists experience in "Port and Marine structures" as desirable. The split of the 60 technical questions between subjects is ours.
