Indian
Engineering Services
Indian
Engineering Services Examination (IES) is conducted by UPSC, India every year.
It is conducted for the recruitment to the engineering categories in government
services like Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering
and Electronics & Tele Communication Engineering. Those who clear IES can
join in good grades and they have a faster career progression in government
sector. Those who are looking for a stable government job in engineering cadre,
IES is the exam you need to watch out for. IES exam is usually conducted in
June and it is an exam spread over three years. The notification of the exam
commences on the month of January and applications.
IES exam has
some sections like objective type papers in engineering subject areas subjective
papers different based on different engineering streams. IES is relatively a
tough exam as it has a broader syllabus covering the specific engineering
stream in depth.
