    No chemical engineering graduates are not eligible to give this exam.

    IES means Indian Engineering services exam, to give this exam you should have an engineering degree in any one of these disciplines.

    * Civil engineering

    * Mechanical engineering

    * Electrical engineering

    * Electronics and telecommunication engineering

    As you are a chemical engineering graduate, you are not eligible to give this exam.

    Re: Are chemical engineering graduates eligible for IES exam?

    Indian Engineering Services Examination is conducted for these four branches:-

    Civil Engineering
    Mechanical Engineering
    Electrical Engineering
    Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering

    But, students from any branch of Engineering are eligible to appear for this examination.
    But, there is no use of appearing as it is very very difficult to write exam for other stream then what you have studied.

    yes, sir Chemical Engineers can also apply for IES(Indian Engineering Services) exam. because for IES you need only B.E/B.tech degree in any discipline from recognized college or university. There is no bar of required percentage in B.E/B.Tech.So don't worry about anything and being a Engineering graduate in Chemical Engineering branch you can apply for IES exam.

    but you can write IES exam by choosing any one stream from the following list of branches:
    >>Mechanical Engineering
    >>Electrical Engineering
    >>Civil Engineering
    >>Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering

    Re: Are chemical engineering graduates eligible for IES exam?

    YES my friend,

    Chemical engineering graduate are also eligible for the INDIAN ENGINEERING SERVICES EXAMINATION.

    almost all the aspirants have confusion about this examination that is there any restriction of branches or it requires a particular branch of engineering but let me clear you that all the engineering students are allowed to give the examination .

    but the restriction is that you must have to give the examination in one of the following subjects /branches .

    the branches are:-

    1. electrical engineering.

    2. civil engineering.

    3. mechanical engineering.

    4. electronics and telecommunication.



    so don't get misunderstand, clear your doubt that all the engineering graduates are eligible but you have to give the examination n the mentioned branches,and after that you will be appointed according to your specialization field.

    other requirements:-


    1. only Indian citizens are allowed to give the examination.

    2. the candidates age must be in between 21-30 yrs if general.

    3. if obc than the age criteria increase to 33 yrs.

    5. and if sc/st category than the age criteria is 21-35 yrs.

    there are an another restriction also which is of number of attempts.

    No. of attempts allowed:-

    &. only 4 attempts for general aspirants.

    &. 7 attempts for obc aspirants.

    &. no any restriction of attempts for sc/st aspirants.



    good luck ..

    Hello my Dear Friend ...


    It is purely based on your Interests

    Actually I.E.S exam is conducted by the " Union Public Service Commission "

    And this UPSC conducts the I.E.S for the CERTAIN STREAMS only


    So if you are CAPABLE and can write under the Below streams .. you can definitely apply for it

    The streams that I am telling you are

    <> Civil Engineering

    <> Mechanical Engineering

    <> Electrical Engineering

    <> Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering


    So by default to be eligible you must definitely have a BACHELOR DEGREE from recognized university

    And the minimum age must be " 21 " years

    Maximum age is allowed up to " 30 " years

    Of course there will be an age relaxation for the reserved candidates


    For OBC --- 3 years

    For SC / ST --- 5 years

    You must be an Indian Citizen

    You must not have any Backlogs at all by the Conduct of the Examination



    GOOD LUCK

    Only following Engineering Graduates can apply for Engineering Services Examination.

    -Civil Engineering

    -Mechanical Engineering

    -Electronics and Communication Engineering

    -Electrical Engineering

    As you have done Chemical Engineering means you are not eligible for Engineering Services examination.

    Age Limt:

    Age should be between 21 to 30 years.

    Relaxation of 5 years is available to SC/ST and 3 years to OBC Category candidates.

    Selection is purely on merit and one has to score top marks in the written and interview.
