This article deals with problem on “How to prepare for ESE Electronics and Telecommunication ” ESE that is Engineering Service examination was earlier known as IES (Indian engineering services) is conducted by UPSC which also conduct exams like civil services , CDS, NDA. ESE exams are for engineers and are conducted for foour streams.

  1. Civil Engineering
  2. Mechanical engineering
  3. Electrical Engineering
  4. Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering

Exam constitutes of 3 stages

Each stage has 2 papers and students have to clear each stage to appear in exam at next stage.

Stage 1 of ESE exam for Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering

Paper 1 

General studies and Engineering Aptitude: This paper is common for all four streams of ESE exam which is of 2 hours and 200 Marks.

Paper 2

Engineering discipline: 3 hours 300 marks will have objective type questions.

Students clearing Stage 1 of ESE exam for Electronics and telecommunication will be allowed to appear for stage 2

Syllabus and Importance of each chapter of syllabus as per Marks for exam of ESE Telecommunication
