    For IES there is no limit of number of attempts. you can apply any number of times within age limit.So you need not to worry about percentage and just concentrate on preparation for the exam and prepare hard you will definitely able to crack the exam.

    for IES(Indian Engineering Services) you must have engineering degree in any Branch from recognized college or university. The exam is conducted by UPSC.

    but you are required to give the exam by choosing any one of the following four Branches of Engineering:
    1. Civil Engineering
    2. Electrical Engineering
    3. Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering
    4. Mechanical Engineering


    for IES your age must be within 21 years to 30 years . there is relaxation in upper age limit upto 3 years for OBC and 5 years for
    SC/ST candidates.


    You have to apply for the exam online on following official link of UPSC:

    Good Luck......

    If you are talking about the Indian Engineering Services Exams than there is no CAP on number of attempts to give the Exams
    Only thing is that you have to meet the minimum eligibity conditions set for the exams
    Engineering Services Exams for the year 2013 was held from 28th June 2013
    So Now you can apply for this Exam in the year 2014 only
    In this Exam BE/BTECH pass candidates of any stream can apply
    Age should be between 21 and 30 years

    But if you are talking about IES Or Indian Economic Service Exams than in this exam also there is no CAP on number of attempts
    You can give the exams as many times as you want
    Educational qualificatiosn required to apply for the IES exams is Post Graduation degree in Economics/Applied Economics/Business Economics/ Econometrics
    Age should be between 21 and 30 years
    IES exams for the year 2013 would be held from 9th November 2013 for 3 days
