    Thank you mam for the great guideline but I have a query about the form filling procedure for the IES 2015, I have read all the details but the query is that if a person belongs to a SC category so he would not to be pay for the exam but, at one stage when you have to fill the challan no. and the registration no. to finish the procedure so what he will do because he have not to pay the amount so what should fill in the challan number box.

    Mam which post are applicable for me???? Which type of jobs....???? Or in which field i will work.....????

  • Ankita Katdare

    @abrakadabra Oct 26, 2014

    Generally, Computer Science/IT/Computer Technology study some subjects in electronics & communication in their 4 year graduation course (This of course changes from university to university).

    Therefore, if a CS/IT graduate candidate does not prefer to learn something completely new from scratch, I think Electronics & Telecommunication (ECE or ENTC whatever you call it) is the best choice for them.

    Once you choose the electronics stream and pass the IES exam you will be eligible for jobs in many sectors including -

    • Indian Railway Service of Signal Engineers
    • Indian Railway Stores Service
    • Indian Ordnance Factories Service
    • Indian Naval Armament Service
    • Assistant Executive Engineer (in Ministry of Defence)
    • Engineer in Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing/Monitoring Organisation
    • Assistant Naval Stores officer (in Indian Navy)
    • Survey of India Service
    • etc.

    what I think is .. why all IITians & other people prefer IES even they can get a higher salary easily after completing the MTECH?
    Even IES takes a lot to crack..

    soni.sapanwhy all IITians & other people prefer IES even they can get a higher salary easily after completing the MTECH?

    And why exactly do you think that people choose career options only by looking at the projected salary? There could be many reasons why people choose IES or M.Tech.
    For instance,
    1. Kind of roles offered at jobs.
    2. Area of Interest.
    3. Govt. jobs vs. private sector.
