Once you have reached the final year of your
engineering studies it is advisable to look out for employment options. The
public sector is an ideal area for a search on employment opportunities as it
provides both endurance and job security. There are various exams conducted by
government bodies all across India to fill up posts available in the specified
sectors.
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC)
conducts exams round the year to select candidates suitable for delivering
services for the government. The Engineering Services Examination is
exclusively conducted for engineering graduates who wish to take up the posts
of public engineers.
The UPSC issues a notification for the Engineering Services Examination in all
leading dailies and official sites around the months of January and February.
The exam is generally conducted in the months of June/July.
The exam is conducted for selecting engineers
for Government of India's engineering organizations, such as Indian Railway
Service of Engineers (IRSE), Central Engineering Service (CES), Military
Engineering Services (MES), etc.
Preferably for engineering graduates from the
fields of Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics &
Telecommunication Engineering and Mechanical Engineering the recruitments
are made through an examination in which the candidates are required to be of
21-30 years of age on the 1st of August of the year of the
examination. Certain candidates who are eligible for age relaxation are thereby
informed through Employment News/ Rozgar Samachar.
The basic educational qualifications required
for the Engineering Services Examination
are:
"·A degree in Engineering from a
recognised university or equivalent.
"·For certain services/posts an M.Sc
degree or its equivalent with Wireless Communications, Electronics, Radio
Physics or Radio Engineering as special subjects is also acceptable.
"·For candidates who are appearing at
their engineering degree (final year engineering students ) or an equivalent
examination they must provide the proof of passing the requisite examination
along with their detailed application form that will be filled up at a later
stage after they have qualified the written part of the examination.
THE EXAMINATION:
The exam is conducted in two parts as written and a personality test conducted
afterwards.
The written round consists of five papers of
200 marks each.
"·Paper I is objective in nature and has
questions based on General Ability. It is subdivided into two parts A and B
based on General English and General Studies respectively.
"·Paper II and Paper III are again
objective with questions from the fields of Civil Engineering/ Mechanical
Engineering/ Electrical Engineering/ Electronics & Tele-Communication
Engineering. Both these papers wrap the entire syllabus of the relevant
engineering disciplines.
"·Paper IV and V are conventional in
nature and are also based on questions based on Civil Engineering/ Mechanical
Engineering/ Electrical Engineering/ Electronics & Tele-Communication
Engineering.
Once you are able to clarify the written
examination a personality test is conducted for the final selection.
"· PERSONALITY TEST- This is a thorough
round of introspection of the candidate's technical expertise, abilities and
soft skills. This test amounts to 200 marks.
For candidates who wish to give the
exam in the year 2017, a new exam pattern will come into force that will be
published on the official UPSC site.
