UPPSC Assistant Engineer Examination has been always preferred by
Engineers due to job stability and opportunity to work in home sate
UUPPSC Combined State Engineering Services examination is conducted
time to time but not every year. MADE EASY team has made deep study of
previous exam papers and observed that a good percentage of questions
are of repetitive in nature, therefore previous years papers are advisable to
solve before a candidate takes the exam, This books also useful for MP State B. Singh (& IES)
Engineering Services, UPSC Engineering Services and other Competitive exams
for Engineering graduates.
‘The current edition of this book contains complete solutions to all questions with accuracy. | have true desire to serve
stueent community by providing good source of study and quality guidance. | hope this book wl be proved an important.
tool to succeed in UPPSC and other competitive exams. Any suggestions from the readers for improvement ofthis book
