How can I start preparation for ies examination now I qualified 12th and going to first year engineering college.. .
If you want to start your preparation for IES exam, you most definitely can. First, start looking for the details online. You can join in a good coaching centre that is available around you or you can enrol yourself in an online coaching program. There's no particular number of attempts are there in the exam. But you have to meet the age criteria which is minimum 21 and maximum of 30 years in case of general category. As IES is UPSC related you can visit the official website for information.
Hope this helps. All the best. If you have any further queries please feel free to ask. We will be happy to help.
