As you know that after getting through the IES exam you get to hold key positions in various departments of Government of India. Everyone has different strategy to crack the exam, some take coaching while some crack it without coaching. Although the level of the exam is quite good, it is not necessary to take coaching.
I suggest you to be a part of Civil Engineering or Mechanical Engineering in terms of Engineering Streams if you are a IAS aspirant.No other Engineering stream is as useful as these branches to become an IAS officer.
The IES syllabus covers the entire engineering syllabus. Candidates are tested for their conceptual capabilities. Since the paper pattern and exam syllabus are so wide, hard work is more important for this exam. On the other hand, the GATE syllabus includes only what will help candidates in their higher studies.
ESE Preliminary Exam has 2 objective papers whereas Main exam has 2 conventional papers. IES Main exam is completely based on candidate's opted engineering discipline. The medium of both the examination is English only. For every wrong answer, one-third marks will be deducted in prelims IES 2020 Prelims exam.
In IES Prelims exam, there are two papers, Paper 1 contains 200 marks and paper 2 for 300 marks. In IES mains exam, there are two engineering papers each 300 marks.
Both IES (Indian Engineering Service) and ESE (Engineering Service Examination) examination are same there is not any difference in these exams. You have not to fill separate form for IES and Engineering Service Examination because both are same. any graduate student can apply for IES exam.
Indian Engineering Services
Yes definitely, An average student can crack IES. Take Made easy or Ace academy class notes for technical portion and solve IES previous year solved the paper.
Competition is a lot lesser in the IES exam as one has to compete with the engineering graduates of that particular stream only. Scaling is not a concern in IES while in IAS, scores obtained in engineering subjects are normalised to bring parity with the Humanities optionals.
All The Best For Your Preparation! Yes, it is quite possible. You need to first go through the syllabus of ESE for your particular branch. In this you will find that around 80–85 % of technical subjects you have studied in the college, is in syllabus of ESE, including Engineering Mathematics.
And that will be best choice to score good in IES exam. This exam is conducted for mainly four branches of engineering eg: Civil,Mechanical,Electronics,Electrical. But other branches like CS/IT students also can apply for the exam if they have their subject knowledge.
IITians do not think highly of IES. However choosing your Engineering subject as Optional in CSE offers a nice benefit of landing you into ESE if you fail in CSE.
Made easy study material is good. Answer: No, private institutes GATE study materials are never good enough. We need at-least 3 months to crack the GATE Examination.
And that will be best choice to score good in IES exam. This exam is conducted for mainly four branches of engineering eg:
Civil,
Mechanical,
Electronics,
Electrical.
They are as follows:
- Civil Engineering.
- Mecahnical Engineering.
- Electrical Engineering.
- Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering.
Yes , you can I have prepared for ESE and GATE 2018 simultaneously and cracked them with a good score. The best plan to start your preparation is to first affirm your goal because self-study needs a lot of dedication that you want to crack ESE and GATE.
When chances of selection is lesser in GATE then why they did not even attempt ESE. The reason is very simple, ESE exam starts from the time one starts preparing for the exam. Because of the above points , I think ESE is tougher than GATE. In fact, It is the toughest competitive exam in engineering field in INDIA.
IES and IAS are both Group A Gazetted officer jobs.If you are not very much interested in your own engineering branch, then don't look towards IES. IES officers are less well known in society expect perhaps railways in particular. This is so because IES have to deal less with public.
Pay Scales and Band Pay of IES Officers
| LEVEL | PAY SCALE | Timeframe |
|---|
| Senior Scale | Rs.15600/- 39100/- | (5-6 years after joining IES) |
| Junior Administrative Grade | Rs.15600-39100/- | (Minimum 10 years after entry) |
| Selection Grade Pay | Rs.37400-6700/- | (20 years or more after entry) |
| Super Time Scale | Rs.37400 – Rs.67000 | |
Attempts allowed for IES for general candidates is 4 times.
While you prepare Non-Technical subjects keep in the mind that General Aptitude, Mathematics is common in both exams i.e., GATE & IES. So prepare this subject for both exams simultaneously. For technical subjects daily 7 hour preparation on regular basis for 8 months is sufficient as per our analysis.
Only take the printout of admit card and read all instructions carefully, Be relaxed, take a sleep of atleast 8 hours and go for exam. After prelims takes a rest for 4 to 6 days. Then start your preparation for stage 2 i.e. Mains (don't wait for results). Make a study plan for mains exam.
Coming to your question, both institutes are good for ESE coaching. Difference is that in Made Easy, each and every technical subject will be handled by different staffs whereas in IES Masters, all the technical subject will be handled by Mr. Kanchan Singh Thakur, director of IES Masters, himself.
Undoubtedly DELHI centre of MADE EASY is best for GATE /IES preparation.
- Highest percentage of students gets qualified in GATE and IES from Delhi centre as compared to other centres.
- Best study environment among all other centres.
- Team of Best faculty / Experienced faculty teaches at Delhi centre.
Try reading newspapers(preferably The Hindu), especially news related to Industrial development,Business etc,since it is helpful in Aptitude GS paper I as well as improve your personality for Interview. Get hold of basic economics,Management etc as it is included in IES syllabus paper I aptitude objecitve.

For most civil engineering government exam you would be asked questions both from civil engineering and General studies. you should refer IES MASTERS study material for civil engineering portion. Start with one subject complete it thoroughly and also solve questions given at end of each chapters.
Made Easy, Hyderabad Reviews. The best coaching center for IES aspirants. Good institute for gate specially for cse branch. Best coaching class for GATE and value of money.
