Dear friend

Do not worry ,here I am explaining you about the both GATE and IES after which you will be able to understand the difference between the two:


About GATE exams

GATE is the Graduate Aptitude test in engineering.It is conducted by the Indian Institute of technology for selecting candidates who are eligible to pursue their master's degree in engineering or technology from the IITs.

Bachelor's degree in engineering or technology or master's degree in science ,computer applications is the minimum educational requirement for this exam.

There is no upper age limit and no bar on no of attempts.

Recently various PSUs like NTPC,BHEL,SAIL,GAIL etc has started to recruit candidates on the basis of GATE scorecard.

About IES exam:

In contrast to the GATE exam,IES is the Indian Engineering services which is conducted by the Union Public service commission.

For this exam you should have bachelor's degree in engineering or technology from a recognized university .

The age limit for the IES exam is 21-30 years and the age relaxations is three years to obc and five years to sc/st respectively.

There are four attempts for general candidates ,seven for OBC and no limit for the sc/st candidates.

It is three day entrance examination and if you clear this exam then you will able to get good and respectable job in the various field like Indian Railways,Defense etc.

Note: In terms of career aspects ,for an engineer IES is the best option than GATE exams.

Hope the information helps you.

* Eligibility criteria:- a) Completion of graduation in Engineering/ Technology/ Architecture/Computer application.

b) Completion of post-graduation in Science/ Mathematics/ Statistics/ Computer Applications.

c) Age criteria is not required.

d) Nationality:- Indian.

2. IES examination:-

* Indian Engineering Services are the civil services that meet the technical and managerial functions of the Government of India.

* Like most countries, the Government of India recruits its civil servants and officials on the basis of merit, the middle management positions in the bureaucracy are filled through competitive exams.

* IES remain the most sought-after careers for the engineering graduates in India.

* Eligibility criteria:- a) Completion of graduation(B.Tech/B.E.) in these following streams:-

i) Civil Engineering.
ii) Mechanical Engineering.
iii) Electrical Engineering.
iv) Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering.

b) Completion of post-graduation in Wireless Communications/Electronics/Radio Physics/Radio Engineering.

c) Age limit:- 21-30 yrs.
