The Engineering Services Examination, often called IES, recruits engineers into Group A and Group B posts across central services — railways, defence engineering, telecom, power, roads and ordnance factories. UPSC issued Examination Notice No. 02/2027-ENGG on 16 September 2026, and applications close on 6 October 2026.
It is a long cycle. The preliminary exam is on 31 January 2027 and the main exam on 18 June 2027, with the personality test after that.
Vacancies are approximate
The notice says the number of posts is expected to be approximately 480, including 19 for persons with benchmark disabilities, and is liable to alteration. Branch-wise splits circulating online are not in the notice, and the two versions in wide circulation do not agree with each other.
