CPWD LDCE - AE EXAM

About Program

CPWD has announced Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE) and it is an opportunity for Junior Engineers (JEs) and Assistant Engineers (AEn) to promote themselves by qualifying this exam. Now, since this exam is meant for working professionals, it is generally observed that the study habit and rhythm of exam preparation fade away when a major chunk of time passes and most of the candidates who have dropped out their habit of studying for exams will be needing a mentor or a coach to help them.

IES Master has designed an online course which is especially designed for the CPWD -LDCE aspirants. This online course will give a decent shape to their study pattern for examination rather and they will be able to optimize the content of their study resources as well.  The basis of deciding the syllabus is previous year exam paper of LDCE which took place in the year 2015. It will make you well equipped, so that you will be ready with a nice armor to combat for exams. This is not a pass-fail exam rather it is an exam of selection entails pattern of studying and teaching also requires some uniqueness, so our teachers have made this course encompass around the requirement of examiner.
