    Dear pal,
    • Competitive exams are to test the aspirants skill and talent. Not the aspirants skill in calculation is tested in the test.
    • The calculation part of the sums will be simple involving addition, division etc. The understanding of the concepts by the aspirant is only tested in the exam.
    • It is necessary that you should have good technical background to clear the exam that is conducted.
    • In addition to the calculators, mobile phones, and few other things also not allowed for the exam .
    • So do not worry you can do well even without calculators provided you have good understanding of the subject.

    I think electronic calculators are allowed in the Indian Engineering Service exam, because theory portion you can solve but in numeric portion, how can it solve without calculator. Apart from that you can see the instruction in the back side of your admit card also.
