All over preparation for IES is easy we can say even compared with GATE.

Let us start with the difference in preparation for GATE and IES. For GATE, around 5 t echnical important subjects with Maths and Quantitative Aptitude may be sufficie nt to crac 95 to 98 percentile. We may have to even wor out Exercise problems also for those subjects and may have to study multiple boo s for the same topic. But for Engg Service Exam (ESE), we may need not practice Exercise problems or may need not study multiple boo s for the same topic. Instead we may have to stu dy multiple boo s for the same subject but for not same topic. We need only 50% of mar s from the written test. All over to write 20 to 25% que stions, we need not prepare anything. Those will be that much easy. Around 40 to 50% of questions will be average standard which need preparation. Remaining que stions may be difficult, for that above average to extreme preparation may be ne eded. Again, for ES exam, 30 to 35% questions (At least models) will be repetiti ve from Old question papers. So, we need to analyze old question papers starting from General Studies to Descriptive papers from 2004. Now, is it difficult to g et 50% of mar s IF WE PLAN PROPERLY? PRACTICE! PRACTICE!! PRACTICE!!! Mantra. All you have to do is practice that s all for IES. You have to do same example problems thrice. You have to read same top ic in the SAME boo thrice. You are done. You can expect IES. Fran ly IES don t ne ed any talent, but perseverance and consistency in preparation. About Objective paper: For objective papers we recommend preparing all subjects. For Electricals communications may be difficult or for Telecommunications Mater ial science/Power Electronics may be difficult. But prepare those subjects also at least to Basic level. If you are unable to understand B.Tech boo s, go for Di ploma boo s. You will be able to follow those and then try for graduation standa rd boo s. But don t leave any subject. Old question papers from 2004, you have to prepare, least mug up those in few areas. Also prepare old civil services prelim inary exam questions for objective. About Descriptive papers: For descriptive we need to practice a lot. See 3 to 4 subjects which are important/which is carrying more weightage. Prepare all examp le problems; solve all old question papers for these subjects. For other subject prepare at basic level. Objective is more important than Descriptive papers (THERE ARE NO MERCY MARKS WI TH UPSC): We may get 70% of allotted mar s, if we get correct solution with proc edure for Descriptive papers. As calculators are allowed, we can expect problems which need to be solved properly with calculator. But for Objective, we will ge t 100% of mar s, that to as they don t allow calculator, we can expect simple prob lems, which need not be too much cautious. General Studies & General English: General studies preparation is not much diffi cult tas to do. We need to prepare last 10 years question papers for convention al side (Polity, Geography, History etc.,). Get an idea. Ta e year boo and prep are least those mentioned topics from that. For current affairs, ta e Civil Serv ices Chronicle from January to April. Prepare NCERT 9thstandard and 10 standard Geography boo s. For polity you can opt for La smi anth. As more questions come from Modern History (Preparation of Ancient and Medieval is difficult also J) y ou can prepare only Modern History. For this Spectrum Series boo is more than s ufficient. For General English, last 10 years old question papers are more than enough. All over we can expect 120 to 140 mar s in each objective papers, 90 to 110 mar s in each descriptive and in General English/General Studies objective paper eve n if we get around 60 mar s it is enough.
