Many IES/ESE aspirants are confused about the name of the exam. The Indian Engineering Examination (IES) is also called as Engineering Services Examination (ESE). For the last 2 years, UPSC has conducted two separate examinations with an interview under IES/ESE recruitment. The IES/ESE Recruitment stages are as follows:

  • Stage 1: IES/ESE 2024 Preliminary Examination.
  • Stage 2: IES/ESE 2024 Mains Examination.
