What is ESE

Engineering Services Examination abbreviated as ESE/IES  is the civil services that meet the technical and managerial functions of the Government of India. Like most countries, the Government of India recruits its civil servants and officials on the basis of merit, the middle management positions in the bureaucracy are filled through competitive exams. A large number of candidates takes these exams, competing for limited posts. IES/ESE officers are selected by the union government on the recommendations made by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). A combined three-stage competitive examination (comprising five tests), called the Engineering Services Examination (ESE) is conducted by the UPSC for recruitment to the Indian Engineering Services.

Recruitment on the results of this examination will be made to the Services/ Posts under the following categories: ‐

Category I‐Civil Engineering.

Category II‐Mechanical Engineering.

Category III‐Electrical Engineering.

Category IV‐Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering.

The number of vacancies to be filled on the results of the examination is expected to be approximately 588 including 18 PH (LDCP‐15 & HI‐03) vacancies. The number of vacancies is liable to alteration. Reservations will be made for candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, and Physically Disabled Category in respect of vacancies as may be fixed by the Government of India.

How to Prepare for ESE/IES 2019

Level-1( Preparation Level): This is the level when you should focus slightly more on developing your theoretical base and concepts. ESE exam tests your basics. Hence it is quite essential that your concepts are crystal clear. If you are enrolled in an ESE/ISE coaching institute, keep studying thoroughly the subject which is going on in the class along with a revision of a subject that’s already been completed (choose a subject for revision, preferably, which you feel you did not understand properly). Keep clearing your doubts with your friends or teachers. For practice, you can solve the material given to you by our coaching institute Engineers Academy or some other


standard books/question banks for ESE 2019-2020.
Organize your notes, it gives you a chance to quickly brush through all the important concepts and will count as a round of revision. Identify what your mistakes and weak points are and spend little time trying to understand them and correct your methods.

Level-2( Preparation Level): For practice, you can solve the
Material given to you by our coaching institute Engineers Academy or some other standard books/question banks. And must be solved all

IES previous questions (objective and subjective).
Practicing sample papers will also build your confidence and shine a torch on where you are going wrong. Topics which contain a lot of problems solving required practice and time, spend at least an hour every day solving these questions.

Level-3( Preparation Level):
This is probably the most crucial period. It should be majorly devoted to taking subject tests and full- syllabus mock tests. Take as many tests as you can. However, taking two subject tests for each subject and around 15 full syllabus tests would be more than sufficient. Try to introspect the kind of mistakes that you are making and make sure you don’t repeat them. Identify your weak areas and try to fill up the gaps.
