Is joining M.Tech at IIT Kharagpur, Bombay, or Madras a good idea if I want to prepare for IES (Indian Engineering Services)?

Question

So, you're wondering if an M.Tech from IIT Kharagpur, Bombay, or Madras is the right move for IES prep? IES is a central government service where engineers become Class 1 officers. The work varies based on your engineering branch and job role.

Here’s a quick look at the IES exam:


Conducting body	UPSC
Educational requirement	Engineering
Age limit	21-30 years

You need an engineering degree to sit for IES, so M.Tech isn't a must.
M.Tech at these IITs might help you understand subjects better, but it won't drastically boost your IES prep.
The M.Tech curriculum at IITs can be super demanding. Competitive exams like IES need time and focus. Balancing classes, projects, and assignments with IES prep can be tough.

IES also needs a competitive environment with good coaching, study materials, and test series. If you're confident in managing both M.Tech and IES, IIT Delhi could be a good choice since Delhi has many coaching centers nearby.

Its a Question about your future!
