Candidates who want to pursue higher education, including at reputed engineering/technical institutions, but are also interested in PSU jobs can go for GATE.
It is advantageous because if they are unable to get a PSU job, their GATE score will be valid for three years to join postgraduate programs.
Also, the difficulty and competition levels of GATE are considered lower compared to IES/ESE.
Who should go for IES?
UPSC IES/ESE is for candidates who are job-oriented and are purely interested in securing central government jobs under different ministries/departments. ESE is more difficult compared to GATE in terms of difficulty and competition. Also, IES officers enjoy immense respect and stature in society.
