Can instrumentation engineering students appear for IES?
Irrespective of the branch, any B.tech graduate can appear and get selected for IES. The syllabus for IES is prescribed by UPSC. Currently, instrumentation engineering is not one of the subjects in the syllabus of IES.
The IES exam is conducted in three phases, i.e. prelims, main and personal interview.
The following table contains the syllabus of IES.
|
Syllabus |
Paper-1 |
Paper-2 |
|
Prelims |
General studies and engineering aptitude |
Engineering discipline (civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electronics and telecommunications, and electrical engineering) |
|
Mains |
Engineering discipline -1 (civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering) |
Engineering discipline -2 (civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electronics and telecommunications, and electrical engineering) |
As mentioned in the table IES consist of the following subjects.
- Civil engineering
- Mechanical engineering
- Electrical engineering
- Electronics and telecommunications
Therefore, it might be difficult for a student to select and study other branch subjects. It will require extra effort but it is possible.
The syllabus of instrumentation engineering is 90% similar to the syllabus of electrical engineering and electronics and telecommunications. Hence, it is advised that instrumentation engineering students should choose electrical subjects for the IES exam. However, there is no hard and fast rule to choose electrical subjects. You should select the subject in which you have good command.
