IES's Management College and Research Centre

True, you can get a better salary offer at a PSU than at an IES. For example, the basic pay is around Rs. 60,000 in most PSUs, whereas the pay scale of an IES entry-level position is Rs. 15,600 to Rs. 39,100. However, the perks offered to IES officers outweigh the salary part of PSUs. These includes:
1. IES has better authority and respect in society than any other PSU. You will get the title of "government officer" as an IES.
2. Except for Indian Railways, every department in the IES offers postings in Tier 2 cities. However, because the plants are located in rural areas, you are more likely to be posted in rural areas in PSU.
3. You will get more facilities in IES. Such as vehicles, staff, and drivers, then in PSUs.
4. The promotions in IES are based on seniority, as opposed to merit plus seniority at PSU. Hence, you have secured promotions in IES.
5. The IES employees get decent bungalows with a large campus area, whereas the PSUs usually offer small quarters. For these reasons, most engineering graduates prefer the IES over PSUs and consider it a better option. However, you can decide, as per your own preferences, which one you want to join.

In the Engineering Services Examination preliminary exams, the Union Public Service Commission won't follow any weight-based pattern. For an electrical aspirant, I can suggest a few points. , Among all subjects, machines, networks, power systems, and control systems combined will definitely ensure you 100 to 150 marks (whatever the pattern may be). The new subjects like computer organisation, material Science, and math will be there in every teacher's mind because of their new syllabus. The subjects that were less focused on the previous year will not be the same this year; we can expect less emphasis on communication, microcontrollers, and microprocessors, as they will be less focused on Mains as well. My advice is to cover all subjects for prelims, and we can have the option to leave a few during main practice.

If we looked at the overall rankings of these institutes, Welingkar &get; SIES &get; Dalmia &get; Chetana. So, Welingkar would be your first preference. It is better to join a GDPI training programme as it will give some structure to your preparation and you'll know how to frame your answers to commonly asked interview questions, how to generate points and tackle GDs, and how to face What (writing ability test) and work on your CV/Resume and application. You can start working on these things immediately:
1. If you haven't been following the news, start reading the newspapers right away and go through Current Affairs so far. That will take care of the content in GDs and will also help during interviews if you're asked your opinion on a topic
2. Do institute research. Why do you want to join that particular institute? What kind of activities happens on campus? Talk to people who are currently studying there or have completed courses from that institute
3. Write answers to commonly asked questions. Why MBA, why at this point of time, about your work experience, extra-curricular activities, positions of responsibility, long-term and short-term goals, passion, hobbies and interests, strengths and areas of improvement, etc.
4. Attend a mock interview/GD. It will definitely highlight gaps in your preparation. Hope this helps! All the best :). .
