• No relaxation is provided for general category aspirant you can make use of the four attempts within the age 21 to 30 years. It is not necessary you need to appear continuously or anything like that .

Hello friend



Yes,it is absolutely true that General candidates are allowed to only attempts four(4) times for Indian Engineering services.

The no of attempts for other backward caste(obc) is seven .

The most advantage is to scheduled tribes and caste that they can attempt IES any times that there is no limit for them in UPSC examinations.

Age limitations.

IF you are born in general category family then for IES ,your age must be between 21-30 years .

For aspirants belonging to obc there is a three year age relaxation that is 21-33 years.

For candidate of sc/st ,it is 21-35 years.

hope the information helps you.

No, it is totally wrong that there is Limitation in number of attempts for IES(Indian Engineering Services) Exam. It is Just a misconception.

The limit of 4 attempts for general, 7 for OBC and no Limit for SC/St is only for the exams of Civil Services and IFS conducted by UPSC. For any other exam conducted by UPSC has no limitation on number of attempts within your eligibility criteria.

Eligibility Criteria For IES:

1. Engineering Degree
2. Age limit:

• General: 21 years to 30 years
• OBC: 21 years to 33 years
• SC/ST: 21 years to 35 years

Good Luck......

NO,there is no limitation on the quantity of tries for the UPSC Indian engineering services.

so, you'll apply any variety of your time besides you're from any class however inside your age-limit no matter declared by upsc time to time in their notification's

i.e usually it's for the final candidates is 21-30 years.

thus smart luck be at liberty to use at any variety time simply focus on your preparation.

There is no restrictions regarding tries of Engineering Service Examination . thus don't fret you'll tries no.of times of this examination .

IES means that for Indian Engineering Service Examination and this examination is conducted by Union Public Service Commission Once during a year .

For any UPSC communicating General class aspirant will build solely four tries not like BC/MBC aspirant WHO will build seven tries or Sc / St WHO don't have any limit in trying the communicating.
No relaxation is provided for general class aspirant you'll build use of the four tries inside the age twenty one to thirty years. it's not necessary you wish to seem ceaselessly or something like that .
The vital issue to notice in it's that one is taken into account to own build try if seems within the ability check tho' fails to complete the communicating.
So you'll take enough time before giving the communicating and wasting the possibility that you simply have gotten.

But in case of IES no limits for attempts.

thanks

Yes, it is true that general candidate are allowed only for four attempts in UPSC IES exam and also all exams which UPSC conducts.



Thanks
Jeet Masih

Definitely dear - It is a unique fact about the UPSC board exams that there is a limitation to attempt the exams of UPSC board and the limitation is following as category wise :

General Category candidates may apply only for four times for each UPSC exam

OBC Category candidates may apply only for 7 times for each UPSC exam

SC/ST Category candidates may apply till 35 years of age for each UPSC exam means there is no limit or restriction for SC/ST category candidates to apply for this exam and if a SC/ST category candidate is applying for UPSC IES exam from 21 years of age then till 35 years of age he/she may apply about 13 times in his/her entire career which is the huge allowing for those

You should not worry and prepare hard for each and every exam for which you are prepare and as for as my views are concerned that hard workers does not care about the time and number of attempts and toughness of examination because they only care about the target that they have to get it at any cost so that you also should care about the qualifying the exam and to get qualified you should prepare hard for this exam so that you could easily get success.

All the best
