Indian Engineering Services Examination Syllabus Exam Pattern

Indian Engineering Services is conducted under UPSC; a central agency of India authorised to conduct other civil services exam. IES caters to the technical and managerial functions for the Government of India. Candidates in large number appear to take this exam, competing for very scare vacancies. Hence, the competition is very high. IES officers are selected based on the recommendations made by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).

The Syllabus and the exam pattern plays a good job in cleaing the exam so one should preparrw well for the examination in order to crack the exam and for that one need Indian Engineering Services Examination Syllabus Exam Pattern and that we have updated on our website.

IES is definitely one of the toughest examinations due to less number of posts and having a very low selection ratio andits technical nature. Because of this IES officers garner huge respect and status in society.IES exam is conducted for recruitment of engineers in government services/sectors of railways, roadways, defence, energy and telecommunication. The recruitment of the selected candidates will be made to the services or posts under the following categories-

Category I- Civil Engineering.

Category II– Mechanical Engineering.

Category III– Electrical Engineering

Category IV– Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering

Exam Pattern for ESE-Engineering Services Examination (ESE) is a four stage competitive exam (comprising six tests) is conducted by the UPSC for recruitment to the Indian Engineering Services.

One test is for General Aptitude which is a part of the assessment system apart from the engineering subject of the candidate. The entire technical subject is divided into four papers (Papers II, III, IV& V). There is a negative marking for wrong answers in the objective type papers. There is a three-day schedule of the written examination, which comprises of all the five written examinations.

First stage is conducted onthe first day; allocated for the General Aptitude (GA) paper. The duration is of 2 hours. This exam consists of General English and General Studies. Paper is of 200 marks.

Second stageis conducted onthe second day which comprises of Objective Technical Papers (II & III). One objective exam is conducted separatelyfor each paper and each for 2 hours in duration. Each paper is of 200 marks.

Third stageis conducted on the third day comprising of Conventional Technical Papers (IV & V). One subjective exam is conducted separately for each paper and each for 3 hours in duration. Each Paper is of 200 marks.

The answer sheets for Conventional Technical Papers of a candidate are evaluated only when he / she qualifies the objective examination i.e Stage 2.
