How one should prepare for IES Mains (CIVIL)?

by

Civil Engineering:

IES preparation has two aspects.

i) Your basics are strong and you just need to brush up your skills.( i.e you don’t need coaching and crack the exam)

ii) You need coaching as you want to get upper edge from other candidates.

Have a look on Syllabus of ESE 2017. There are approx 20-35% changes has been done in syllabus. First go for the subjects which has been there in earlier syllabus also. While studying those and solving previous year questions, you will get an trend going in ESE. According to that ready the remaining new syllabus. For new topics, refer standard technical books and their solved examples.

Must have Books for IES Civil Engineering Preparation:

  1. Civil Engineering (OBJECTIVE TYPE) By Dr. P.Jaya Rami Reddy Click Here
  2. Practice Sets Civil Engineering By Piyush Gupta Click Here
  3. A Handbook On Civil Engineering By Prof. Jyoti Nag Click Here
  4. Civil Engineering Objective Type Questions By S S Bhavikatti Click Here
  5. Elements Of Civil Engineering By Mimi Das Saikia Click Here
  6. Objective Civil Engineering Railway And Other Engineering Competitive Exams By P.K Mishra Click Here

Recommended Books based on syllabus for Conventional Paper-I & Paper-II:

  • First Solve previous year questions subject wise.
  • If time permits, solve unsolved/solved questions from standard books(at least have a look at the solved questions)
  • You can avoid writing down the theory questions initially, however if you do that, will help in developing your speed.
