Interview By IES-2012 E&T AIR-1 &; GATE Rank-44

Interview By Kunal Srivastava

 

E.S.E is no doubt a thorough process which tests understanding of engineering subjects and several awareness of a candidate through multiple stages.

My Strategy

I started Preparation for E.S.E after my B. tech (in 2011). My strategy for exam was to score at least 100 marks per paper, totaling to 600 out of 1200. As the out off had varied maximum up to 580 in past years.

Objective Technical

For the technical objective papers reading theory from the standard books recommended during collage days is a must. For a good score in objective technical papers a breadth first knowledge of topics is required. Though the questions asked are conceptual but many can be answered by memory thus time management becomes easy. I also very thankful to Engineers Institute of India which provide me best faculty for coaching.

Subjective Technical

For the technical subjective paper, I feel that entire or comprehensive coverage is not required. I prefer selective approach by choosing subjects per paper and leaving out some Topics. I always put the question to our faculty and they give me such a special answer which help to increase my interest in my study .

Important derivations and numerical based upon them have a fair chance of being repeated. Standard books and their problems set is more than sufficient. However I would also suggest solving gate questions as they are very conceptual and thoughtful.

Number of Hours

The number of hours per day for studying is probably the biggest confusion student usually have. I suggest 6 to 8 hours for studying and devoting home time for hobbies. As they play an important role in developing ones personality. Also questions on hobbies are always asked invest interviews.

Last Advice

Limited number of good quality questions should be practiced. You all must join and take Test series and Mock Test series

Interview

Interview preparation can be done post written result under qualified personality. One should focus on the features of one’s profile. Try to highlight yours strengths and minimize weaknesses. You should be comfortable with every word written in your D.A.F. questions asked are mostly from your background and hobbies and present job, if working.

Special Thanks

At the end special thanks to Engineers Institute of India and There all faculty, which help me more to get this achievement in my life which is impossible for me.

English Preparation for IES

How To prepare for English:

English: For English you need to improve your vocabulary and grammar for any competitive exam.

It will take time to learn the vocabulary but it will help you in around 20 direct questions of Synonyms/Antonyms  and instead of that it will help you in understanding the passages ,PQRS type questions and in Vocabulary based fill in the blanks. Almost it covers all the topics other than grammar based questions.

For Vocabulary first start with news paper ,Read it and note the meaning you do not know, when there is collection of above 500 good meanings (learn on the daily basis) then after that you will start learning directly with any good vocabulary book like I found PT education’s  (VA Atlas) book good for this purpose.

For Grammar you need to first read the rules(not try to learn them, Read them 8-10 times on regular basis) from any good book and start solving the  error related problems as much as you can by maintaining the balance with other parts of course.

Book lists for English:

Vocabulary:

1.PT education’s  (VA Atlas)-Along with meaning of that word this book also contains all possible synonym ,antonym ,word usage in sentence at same place.

2.The best way to learn the meaning by some key word or by the help of some images. By this we can learn the vocabulary easily. Book For this: VoLT ,Vocabulary learning techniques By Abhishek Jain
