 In past few years ESE Main exam has evolved as an examination
designed to evaluate a candidate’s subject knowledge. Studying
engineering is one aspect but studying to crack prestigious ESE
exam requires altogether different strategy, crystal clear concepts
and rigorous practice of previous years’ questions. ESE mains being
conventional exam has subjective nature of questions, where an
B. Singh (Ex. IES) aspirant has to write elaborately - step by step with proper and well
labeled diagrams and figures. This characteristic of the main exam
gave me the aim and purpose to write this book. This book is an
effort to cater all the difficulties being faced by students during their
preparation right from conceptual clarity to answer writing approach.

MADE EASY Team has put sincere efforts in solving and preparing
accurate and detailed explanation for all the previous years’ questions
in a coherent manner. Due emphasis is made to illustrate the ideal
method and procedure of writing subjective answers. All the previous
years’ questions are segregated subject wise and further they have
been categorised topic-wise for easy learning and helping aspirants to
solve all previous years’ questions of particular area at one place. This
feature of the book will also help aspirants to develop understanding

Director’s of important and frequently asked areas in the exam.

Message
I would like to acknowledge the efforts of entire MADE EASY team
who worked hard to solve previous years’ questions with accuracy.
I hope this book will stand upto the expectations of aspirants and
my desire to serve the student community by providing best study
material will get accomplished.
