IES is far better than IPS as you know that without technical knowledge nothing is possible,if you join IPS you will have some power but you will not apply your technical knowledge which you gained in engineering .If you join IES than you will have power+you will have to use your technical knowledge to solve problems.IES is conducted in following branches-

Mechanical engineering

Civil engineering

Electrical engineering

ECE

Computer science and engineering.

You have to pass general studies and general English papers also.Form main exam you have to pass subjective papers.

Dear Friend

Really it is an interested question.

IES stands for the Indian Engineering services and IPS stands for the Indian Police services.

For becoming IES officer ,you have to have clear the Engineering services examinations whereas for becoming IPS officer ,you have to clear the civil services examinations .Both the examinations are held by the UPSC once every year.

Now coming to your question

In terms of salary,IES officer gets more than the IPS.

But when we talk about the power ,IPS officer has more power than IES.

Since you are going for the civil services ,please go for the IAS as an IAS officer is the most powerful in comparison to all.

Hope the information helps you.

all the best
