Difference Between IES and IAS Exam

The examination conducted for selection of the Indian Administrative Services is the Civil Services Examination and for the Indian Engineering Services the exam is Engineering Services Exam

Both the exams are conducted by the UPSC once a year..

Civil Service Exams :-

> The applicant must not be less than 21 years and should not be more than 30 years if belonging to general..

> The applicant should have completed graduation in any stream from a recognized institution..

Examination is conducted in 3 rounds :-

>> Preliminary Examination
>> Mains Examination
>> Personal Interview

Engineering Services Exams :-

> Applicant should have completed B.E/B.Tech in one of the following trades :-
1) Civil Engineering
2) Mechanical Engineering
3) Electrical Engineering
4) Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering

> Applicant should also be within 21-30 years of age..

There shall be the following tests which you will be facing :-

> General Ability Test
> 2 objective test papers
> 2 conventional papers

I think you are getting confused between the General Ability Test of IES and General Studies of IAS exam..

Both the papers are entirely different..

General Ability Test is meant to test your aptitude skills whereas the General Studies paper is the one where you need to be aware of the Indian Politics, History, Geography and many other things..

Hope your doubt is cleared but in case you still have any queries then you can visit http://upsc.gov.in to know more about both the exams..

all the best..

With Warm Regards
