Study Plan
The IES examination is difficult exam to crack. Those who wish to qualify should start their preparation at the earliest. The portions to be covered are very large. It requires a lot of time and a very calm mind to prepare for the test. One of the methods would be to prepare a timetable and follow it accordingly. Another method would be to join an entrance coaching center. It will be very helpful as these centers will focus on the portions very well and prepare the students to face the entrance. But one should also put in a lot of hard work from his/her side to qualify for the exam.
Revising the daily portions is a very good method to memorize the important points. Students can also practice previous years question paper. They should also learn to manage the time. It will help them to finish the paper on time and will also increase their confidence level.
Cutoff
In civil engineering the minimum marks required is around 310 for general category and around 240-280 for other classes.
In mechanical engineering it is around 350 for general and 215 to 260 for others.
In electrical it is 370 for general and around 275 to 315 for others.
In the case of the electronics and telecommunication it is 388 for general and 295-300 for candidates belonging to other classes.
Score Validity
The validity period of IES exam is till the required number of candidates is recruited. The validity may also be till the next UPSC exams.
