Hello Ankur, 

Its good to see your passion is in Computer Science Engineering. A lot of career opportunities are available but you need to work extremely hard and build a good resume with tons of experience in coding, programming. Participate in hackathons, etc. This will ultimately benefit in placements and you may land a 20lpa offer ( provided companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, etc visit your campus). 

On the other hand if you want a secure lifestyle with a steady but grand pay with tons of perks,etc, then go for IES. However I must tell you that dedicated preparation is required for IES. Also once you get in, your career may be stagnant as promotions are very rare in Government services however it does happen. You will enjoy benefits unrivalled by other private company's perks. So go for whichever you think would be best.   

Step 1 Study Material.

First and most thing is that study material. As you are already pursuing your B- tech I assume that you already have standard textbooks. So I suggest you that start reading from that books only. If not then I suggest purchase study material of IES Master that's really gud for civil Engineering.

Step 2. Setting of Targets

For achieving big things you have to set small-small goals and have to work towards them . Like fixing the no of days for a particular subjects and you also have to finished that subject in that time period only because you already running behind the time so no relaxation allowed always keep this in your mind.

Step 3. Strategy for Studying

1.) IES exam comprises of both Objective and Conventional Papers so in beginning please don’t target only on objective papers because subjective questions help you in understanding the subject in better way and it also help in solving objective questions.

2.) After finishing each subjects start solving its last 15 year objective questions and solve atleast 40–50% Subjective questions of last 15 years.

3.) Just like you have to set target so that by 10–15 December you can complete all the subjects .

4.) For paper 1 you have to simultaneously read current affair magazine of a particular month, I suggest you don’t waste time in reading newspapers because current affair magazine of vajiram and ravi (online available) and vision IAS is enough, newspaper consume too much time and things that we want is also not get easily in newspapers. I also advice you purchase one book for paper 1 either from Made-easy or fom IES-mster it contain all the miscellaneous topics that asked in paper 1. keep reading this books simultaneously while preparing for technical portion.

Step 4. Test Series

Join the objective test series (Available online) by the November end and start giving test in December, I suggest you please give atleast 2–3 Full length test and one more thing I like to tell you is that please don’t be demotivate if you get less marks in test. It happens with everyone only thing that you have to do is to analyse your test start preparing your weak points. For conventional papers also I suggest you join test series in month of march and start giving test this tests give you actual feel of exam and helps you in making strategy for attending actual exams .

So In the end start preparing for IES you have enough time and you can easily crack this exam . Only thing that you have to do is strictly follow your study plan and always stick with it in any situations . If you need any other Suggestions feel free to ask I love to help future IES aspirants

Hello sir,

The rigorous practice and a good preparation strategy guarantees success in the IES exam. The exam has both objective and conventional type questions hence theory, conceptual knowledge and problem-solving techniques are equally important. Third year, which is in fact the most crucial year is also important to start the preparation. Not only you become mature in terms of your understanding but maximum number of subjects which are going to be dealt indephtly in the third year. 

Cheers!
