Basic details about Indian Engineering Services 

The Engineering Services Examination (ESE) is held to select officers for the services which cater to the technical responsibilities of the Government of India in the area of engineering. The union government chooses officers on the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). It is a three-stage competitive examination (preliminary, primary, and personality tests), the Engineering Services Examination (ESE), which the UPSC holds to recruit the Engineering Services. Many applicants take the examinations to compete for a restricted number of positions. Officers selected through ESE must oversee and execute operations in various technological areas. 

What is Indian Engineering Service? 

Importantly, Indian Engineering Services is considered the country’s most prestigious engineering position. Engineering Services Examination (ESE) is another name for (ISE) Indian Engineering Services. 

In addition, Engineering Services Examination (ESE/IES) is a civil service examination that meets the technical and administrative needs of the Indian government. The government of India, like other nations, hires polite employees and officials based on merit with competitive tests. These examinations attract a significant number of applicants competing for a restricted number of positions. The union government chooses IES/ESE officials based on the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). The UPSC conducts the Engineering Services Examination (ESE), a three-stage competitive examination (comprising five exams) to recruit Indian Engineering Services. 

Indian Engineering Services Selection Process 

Generally, The selection for the stated recruiting will be conducted in three phases. The applicants passing the prelims test will sit for the mains exam. The applicants equivalent to six to seven times the total estimated vacancies will write the mains test. The applicants will further participate in the personality test if they pass the mains exam—stage I Preliminary Exam, Stage II Main Exam, Stage III Personality Test. 

Indian Engineering Services- Exam Pattern  

Usually, The exam pattern for the UPSC ESE consists of three stages prelims, mains, and interview. 

Moreover, both the Prelims and Mains are written exams; a candidate must pass each round to be eligible for the next selection step. Candidates who pass the UPSC ESE prelims and the Mains examination will be invited for a Personality Test to evaluate their job management and presence of mind. Once the UPSC chooses the applicants following the personality test, a provisional list will be produced and published on the Official Website of UPSC. The provisionally selected applicants will next be summoning for Document Verification, where they will have to present their necessary papers relating to the Age, Category, and Educational Qualifications. 

Indian Engineering Services-The Prelims and Mains 

The prelims exam will comprise three General Studies & Engineering Aptitude and paper, depending on the engineering field. Both these papers will be objective kind. The questions in the prelims test will carry two marks apiece. Every incorrect response will result in a 1/3rd mark deduction. 

A candidate must have a minimum UPSC ESE Cut-off score to pass the Prelims and Mains exams. After passing the Mains, you will be notified of your selection and invited to take the IES Personality Test. A 200-point personality exam will be given, often known as a personal interview. 

You must have the following certified papers available before attending the interview, as they are needed after the IES Result 2020 is released. The papers required are Birth certificates, Certificate of Educational Qualification, Reservation for Category Certificate, and Certificate in Support of the Claim of Age/Fees.

ESE 2021 comprises two written exams – The preliminary exam and the Main exam, plus a personal interview round. The Prelims and Main test will present two exams each – Paper 1 and Paper 2. ESE Prelims Paper 1 is General Studies and Engineering Aptitude, the same for every applicant. It will test candidates’ broad knowledge on national and worldwide significance related to social, economic, and industrial growth and Engineering Aptitude encompassing logical thinking, analytical ability, mathematics, ethics, and values in the engineering profession.

ESE Prelims Paper 2 and both the papers in the Main exam will be dependent on a candidate’s choice of engineering field amongst civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and electronics & telecommunication engineering.
