I have applied for Indian Engineering Services (IES) Electrical Exam so can you please tell me how to clear the exam?

[Vishal Kotkar]

Indian Engineering Services (IES) is an extremely competitive exam. A large number of applicants are preparing very for it diligently.

IES Electrical Exam preparation Tips-

Refer to the pattern and syllabus of exam

Select the standard books to prepare for exam

Set daily goals for yourself

You may practice the questions from previous ESE exams, objective books, and online tests.

Make short notes for important topics and formulae list.

Solve previous years questions

Make sure to set a time limit when solving questions

Prepare and practice each topic in both conventional and objective way, and focus more on objective rather than doing conventional.

Realize your Potential

Be focused on your goals and make your life goal oriented

Develop Self Confidence, Don’t Give Up

Improve your social skills

Always take care of yourself

Exercise and maintain good physical health
