Dear Friend

Every year UPSC conducts IES examination.
The schedule of exam is not fixed every year.
This year the written exam was conducted in May and next year it will be
conducted in June.

The IES examination comprises of a Written Test and an Interview for the candidates
who qualify the Written Test.
The examination is conducted for basically four engineering stream.
1. Civil Engg.
2. Electrical Engg.
3. Electronics & Telecommunication Engg.
4. Mechanical Engg.

The Written Test (For Electrical Engineering stream)comprises of following two sections:

Section-I: Objective Papers
i) General Ability Test
ii) Electrical Engineering Paper-I
iii) Electrical Engineering Paper-II

Section-II: Conventional Papers (Subjective Type)
i) Electrical Engineering Paper-I
