  44. Ritika Savita says:

    Indian Engineering Services (IES) exam is the apple of the eyes for every engineering graduate. It provides you the chance to grasp a government job.
    Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) branch is that branch which provides scope in two main fields of Electronics & telecom sector. The companies for the latter are mostly Government undertakings.
    Therefore, students from ECE branch hold IES exam very dear.

  45. Sumit Mukherjee says:

    Electronics and communication engineering has a large field in India. Starting from telecom department to the IES exam, all need the ece engineers. The article is undoubtedly helping the ece students those who are preparing for the upsc exams.

  46. mayank sharma says:

    ies exam is a dream for most students.this paper will give u an idea about the pattern of the exam.
