UPSC IES Exam 2022: Indian Engineering Services remains the most sought-after career for engineering graduates in India. Engineering Services Examination commonly known as ESE is conducted annually by UPSC to recruit engineers in four domains namely Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics & Telecommunications for the techno-managerial posts. The examination constitutes a two-stage written examination followed by an interview.
ESE is considered one of the toughest examinations in India due to fewer posts. Owing to the highly competitive selection procedure, IES officers carry high respect and status and are mandated to manage and execute activities in diverse technical and managerial fields.
In this article, we have discussed UPSC IES 2022 Exam in great detail. Interested candidates are suggested to have a nice look at it.Â
