Indian Engineering Services (IES) the engineering services that meet the technical and managerial functions of the Government of India. Government spending comprises more than 15 percent of India's GDP.
Given the extent of tasks and functions managed by the public sector,
this extends to a fairly broad segment of the economy covering the
railroads, defense, public works, power, telecommunications, etc.[1]
Like most countries, the Government of India recruits its civil
servants and officials on the basis of merit, the middle management
positions in the bureaucracy are filled through competitive exams. Large
number of people take these exams competing for limited seats. It is
considered as the toughest exam due to the less numbers of seats. A
combined competitive examination is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC); for recruitment to the Indian Engineering Services (IES).
