The UPSC ESE 2025 applications are closing soon. The candidates should note that the IES 2025 applications can be filled online only at upsc.gov.in. The candidates should note that the Union Public Service Commission released the IES 2025 notification on September 18, 2024. Candidates will be required to pay the IES application fee as per their category. The fee exemption provided for the female candidates, SC, ST,  PwBD candidates is such that they do not wanted to pay any fees. On the other hand, other candidates must pay an application fee of INR 200. The fee can be paid online (through SBI Net Banking/ debit card/ credit card)

The prelims test will consist of three two papers i.e. General Studies & Engineering Aptitude and Specific Discipline Paper. The prelims exam will be objective type (multiple choice questions). The exam will be held in offline mode (pen-paper based.The UPSC IES Syllabus is a relatively easier one than the IAS Syllabus. From the scope of exam pattern to syllabus for both exams, there is a huge difference.

The official publication of the UPSC Indian Engineering Services (IES) exam cutoff for 2024 includes information on the minimal scores needed to qualify for each category. The IES 2024 exam's total cutoff scores are as follows: 238 for the OBC category and 238 for the General and EWS categories. 202 and 227 are the corresponding cutoff scores for SC and ST candidates. To be eligible for the next steps of the selection process, which include the Mains exam and personality test, these cutoffs show the minimal scores required.

The UPSC Engineering Services Examination Notification states that - a candidate must have earned an engineering degree from a university established by an act of the Central or State Legislature in India, from another educational institution founded by an act of Parliament, or from a university declared to be deemed a university under section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, to be eligible to take the exam. 

The candidate must, however, choose any one of the four subjects - civil, mechanical, electrical, or electronics - for which they wish to take the exam.

In the formal notification, the Union Public Service Commission listed 167 vacancies. The Commission withheld the information regarding the service-wise openings for the IES 2024 exam. Candidates should anticipate the greatest number of openings in the mechanical or civil engineering categories, based on trends from the previous year. The official IES 2024 notice included information about available positions. The low amount of IES 2024 vacancies should cause candidates to expect a higher IES cutoff. IES openings significantly impact the cutoff. The date of the IES 2024 exam was February 18, 2024. September 26, 2023, was the deadline
