Plan And Strategy For Indian Engineering Services
(A PATH OF GLORIOUS FUTURE)
Any one can never make a comparison of Government Service
with anything. Where ever the question about Indian Engineering Services,
actually these have very high position. Here, you play a role in a making a plan
and executing it not for money, for any person but your beloved country and
their people. No matter how much you get in private sector. So in this way, you
can play very important role in India’s development and making its future
bright.
Like Civil Servants in India, the Engineers recruited through Indian Engineering
Services get very high honors in government and society. At present government
is spending more than 15 percent of India's GDP in Engineering. Given the extent
of tasks and functions managed by the public sector this extends to a fairly
broad segment of the economy covering the Railroads, Military, Public works,
Power, Telecommunications, etc.

Government of India recruits its coveted Engineers through competitive exams
held each year by Union Public Service Commission. For this, a combined
competitive examination is conducted by the UPSC.
The test is conducted in June every year at centres across India, namely:
Agartala, Ahmedabad, Aizwal, Allahabad, Bangalore, Bareilly, Bhopal, Chandigarh,
Chennai, Cuttack, Delhi, Dharwar, Dispur (Guwahati), Gangtok, Hyderabad, Imphal,
Itanagar, Jaipur, Jammu, Jorhat, Kochi, Kohima, Kolkata, Lucknow, Madurai,
Mumbai, Nagpur, Panaji (Goa), Patna, Port Blair, Raipur, Sambalpur, Shillong,
Simla, Srinagar,
Thiruvananthapuram, Tirupati, Udaipur,Ranchi
(Jharkhand) and Vishakapatnam.
There are two parts of Indian Engineering Services written exam, Objective
Papers of 600 marks and Conventional Papers of 400 marks ie total 1000 marks.
Beside it there is personality test of 200 marks. IES exam total carries 1200
marks. Objective Papers consist of three papers each carrying 200 marks of two
hour duration. Here first paper is of General Ability Test divided in two
parts-General English and General Studies and last two papers are from your
chosen Engineering subjects.

Part two of exam is consist of two Conventional Papers of each 200 marks are
from Engineering subjects. Here I am telling about General Studies, which is
very important, because without qualifying in this paper, your other papers will
not be evaluated and your all efforts will go in waste. So be careful and
prepare this paper systematically. I am giving details about this paper and
related study materials. Copyright

General Ability Test:
UPSC has divided General Ability Test in two parts- Part A is General English
and Part B is General Studies. Test of both subjects held in one session of two
hours and carries 200 marks. General Ability Test is part of Objective Papers.

The Objective Type papers, which carries 600 marks are very important, because
these are evaluated first and evaluation of the Conventional Type papers
contained in Section-II of the Plan of Examination will be done only of those
candidates who obtain the minimum qualifying marks in Objective types papers, as
fixed by the Commission. So candidate must give importance to General Ability
Test. They have often face difficulties in this paper, because their background
is very much different. I think a good strategy is important for this.
