Civil Services Mains Electrical Engineering Paper 2 Previous Conventional Questions with Solutions
Dear Students,
It is observed that a very significant number of the questions given in the engineering optional in Civil Services (Main) Examinations during the period 1995-2018 have been regularly appearing in ESE main examination also. Good Knowledge about these questions will be useful to Electrical and communications Engineering Students in the ESE Main Examinations.
With a view to assisting candidates appearing for ESE examination. ACE academy takes pride in bringing out a complete set of solutions of the engineering related questions in the civil services (Main ) Examination
Most of these questions are conceptual and of high standard. Detailed solutions explaining how basic concepts are applied at various stages of solving the questions have been provided. This would enable the students to understand the importance of fundamentals and apply them to their similar problems.
The solutions have been prepared with utmost care. Inspired of this, if there are errors of any type, we will be grateful to be informed of the same to [email protected]
Best wishes to all the aspirants and also the engineering faculty who would like to go though the following pages.
Civil Services Prelims Civil Engineering Previous Years Objective Questions with Solutions
UPSC Civil Services Preliminary examinations during the period 1994 to 2010 have resulted in large sets of objective type questions in various fields of engineering. It is observed that a very significant proportion of these questions are regularly appearing in ESE, GATE, PSUs and competitive examinations of various state public service commissions of the country.
With a view to assist candidates appearing for examinations of the above type, ACE Academy takes pride in bringing out a complete set of detailed solutions for the civil services preliminary examinations, Civil Engineering questions.
Most of these questions are conceptual and of high standard. Detailed solutions explaining how the answers arrived at is presented in addition to answer keys. These will be found useful not only in answering objective type questions but also questions of the conventional type.
The solutions are prepared with utmost care. Inspite of this, if there are errors of any type, we will be grateful to be informed of the same to [email protected]
ESE / GATE / PSUs Numerical Ability, Theory & self practice questions
The study material for Numerical Ability is thoroughly revised this year to meet the requirements of all categories of students. It consists of
(i) Brief synopsis covering the entire syllabus
(ii) Worked out examples, concept wise
(iii) Practice questions with detailed solutions
The students are advised to go through the theory duly understanding the worked out examples to the extent possible and practice the questions, By doing so, the students will get familiarized with some of the concepts and can really enjoy the lecture in the class. Also, the students can interact with the faculty in a better way.
After attending the classes and understanding the typical questions explained by the professors, the students will be in a position to solve these questions in work book. However, for verifying the correctness, Hints/solutions are also given wherever required. The student is advised to struggle to get the solution for the problems in the work book by self analysis and not to refer the solution first.
Thanks to all Professors who extended their services in the preparation of this booklet.
It is believed that this volume is also a valuable aid to the students appearing for competitive exams like ESE, ISRO, State and Central Commissions and other PSUs.
