ESE-2017 Prelims: Questions Direct from IES Master Study Material

Take a look at the questions asked in ESE-2017 Prelims straight from IES Master Publication Books and Classroom Programs

Study material forms the very basis on which the entire structure of a student’s conceptual understanding builds, more so if it caters to the highest level competitive exams. The change in syllabus and exam pattern, in ESE 2017,proved to be the biggest differentiator between the knowledge levels of the genuine and the fake institutes. What followed was an open challenge for institutes to prove their intellectual prowess in decoding and projecting the possibilities for the students, aspiring for top engineering jobs.

It was quite a challenge given the fact it was coming from UPSC, the screening authority responsible for setting the benchmark for top engineering jobs. Rather than working on the content, institutes set the rumour mill rolling. All kinds of claims regarding the nature of questions, to be asked in ESE 2017 exam, were made, more to market the institute rather than mentoring the students. Somehow the loudest, with their reach and money, created the maximum traction amongst the young minds.

However, the façade of claims were blown apart, moments after students walked out the exam hall after writing the ESE-2017 Prelims exam, in January 2017.

Amidst the gloom, one institute emerged as the shining star. IES Master showed the way in decoding ESE-2017 Prelims exam. Our GS books came closest in reflecting the mind set of UPSC.

Here is the evidence to it:
