    Re: Can computer science engineering students apply for IES (Indian Engineering Services) exam?

    Dear Aspirant

    Indian Engineering Services examination are conducted by UPSC for recruitment of candidates in government services in field of engineering like Electrical,Civil,Mechanical and Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering.The minimum educational qualification eligibility criteria fixed by the commission for this is the graduate in engineering from any discipline.So being a computer science engineering student you can apply for the examination.

    But keep in mind that you can attempt paper only in these four branches of engineering Electrical Engineering,Civil Engineering,Mechanical Engineering and Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering.So you will have to work hard in order to appear for the examination as you have to appear for different branch papers.However you may take Electronics & Telecommunications as your branch paper as most of the paper are similar.

    You may get detailed of the examination dates from UPSC official websites (www.upsc.gov.in)

    yes, my friend computer science engineering graduates can also apply for IES(Indian Engineering Services) Exam. for IES you need b.E/B.tech in any stream from recognized college or university with any percentage.

    but you have to write IES exam in any one stream from the following lists:
    >>Mechanical Engineering
    >>Electrical Engineering
    >>Civil Engineering
    >>Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering

    for IES your age should be within 21 years to 30 years on 1 January of the year of exam. you must have attained the lower age on same date and you must not have attained the upper age on similar date. there is also relaxation in upper age upto 3 years for OBC and 5 years for SC/ST.

    for IES there is no limit of number of attempts.

    you have to apply for the exam online via link:

    Good Luck......

    Dear friend,
    a computer engineering student can appear for IES examination conducted by UPSC but the student should have completed graduation(in engineering) from a recognized university at the time of examination.

    But since IES conducts its examination through only 4 branches namely:-
    >Electrical Engineering
    >Mechanical Engineering
    >Electronics and Communication Engineering
    >Civil Engineering

    So you have to prepare for the examination and clear it from any of the above 4 mentioned branches.

    Thank you and all the best

    Re: Can computer science engineering students apply for IES (Indian Engineering Services) exam?

    Look friend,

    this is a common confusion about the Indian engineering services so here I clear your all the doubts about the examination.

    all the engineering graduates are eligible for the same but the restriction is that you have to give the examination for one of the four branches given below so you are eligible but only if ready for giving the examination in any of the four branches.

    the branches are:-

    * electrical engineering.

    * civil engineering.

    * electronics and telecommunication engineering.

    * mechanical engineering.

    I know it is very difficult for an engineering graduate with other branch to prepare another subject but don't worry you will be posted according to you specialized branch in which you complete your engineering.

    so yes it is quite difficult but to achieve something you have to give a cost for that so you have to do it if wanna get the job.

    now talking about the other details about the examination .

    the examination has two basic requirements one is described above and the other one is that the candidate must be Indian citizen.

    the other requirements are as under;

    age required:-

    1. 21-30 yrs for general category.

    2. 21-33 years for obc category.

    3. 21-35 yrs for sc/st category.

    rest the no of attempts are as below.

    - for general category:- 4 attempts.

    - for obc category :-7 attempts.

    - for sc/st category;- no restriction.

    so you should apply next year.

    good luck

    for any query feel free to ask on this forum...

    thank you @
