UPSC Indian Engineering Services (IES) Examination

Indian Engineering Services (IES) are the technical 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, military, public works, power, telecommunications, etc.

The middle management positions in the bureaucracy are filled through competitive exams.
