The UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) Engineering Services Examination (ESE), also known as the Indian Engineering Services (IES) Examination, is a competitive examination in India that is conducted for the recruitment of engineers into various government departments and organizations. The UPSC ESE syllabus is comprehensive and covers a wide range of engineering subjects. The examination is divided into two stages: the Preliminary Examination and the Main Examination. Here is a detailed overview of the UPSC ESE syllabus:

Preliminary Examination:

1. Paper I – General Studies and Engineering Aptitude**: This paper tests candidates on general knowledge and current events, engineering aptitude, reasoning ability, and basic concepts of engineering.
– Current events of national and international importance
– Engineering aptitude covering logical reasoning and analytical ability
– Engineering Mathematics and Numerical Analysis
– General principles of design, drawing, importance of safety
– Basics of Energy and Environment: Environmental pollution and its control
– Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their applications in engineering

2. Paper II – Engineering Discipline-Specific**: In this paper, candidates have to choose one of the following engineering disciplines:
– Civil Engineering
– Mechanical Engineering
– Electrical Engineering
– Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering

Main Examination:

1. Paper I – Engineering Discipline-Specific**: This paper is specific to the engineering discipline chosen by the candidate in the Preliminary Examination.

2. Paper II – Engineering Discipline-Specific**: Another paper in the chosen engineering discipline.

Conventional Papers:

1. Paper III – Engineering Discipline-Specific**: This paper is specific to the chosen engineering discipline and is a conventional (essay) type paper.

2. Paper IV – Engineering Discipline-Specific**: Another conventional paper in the chosen engineering discipline.

Personality Test: After the Main Examination, candidates who qualify are called for a Personality Test (Interview) where their communication skills, leadership qualities, and other relevant qualities are assessed.

It’s important to note that the syllabus for each engineering discipline may vary, so candidates are advised to refer to the official UPSC ESE notification and syllabus for the specific details related to their chosen discipline.

In addition to the core engineering subjects, it’s essential to stay updated with current affairs and general knowledge for the Preliminary Examination. The UPSC ESE is a highly competitive examination, and candidates need to prepare thoroughly for both the Preliminary and Main Examinations to qualify for the Personality Test and ultimately secure a position in the Indian Engineering Services.
