UPSC ESE 2027 Exam Pattern
The Engineering Services Examination is conducted in three stages: Stage-I Preliminary Examination, Stage-II Main Examination and Stage-III Personality Test/Interview.
Preliminary Examination Pattern
The Preliminary Examination consists of two papers. Paper-I is common to all candidates and covers General Studies and Engineering Aptitude. Paper-II is based on the engineering discipline selected by the candidate.
| Paper | Subject | Duration | Maximum Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper-I | General Studies and Engineering Aptitude | 2 Hours | 200 |
| Paper-II | Engineering Discipline | 3 Hours | 300 |
| Total | — | 5 Hours | 500 |
The same 500-mark Preliminary structure applies to Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering candidates.
Main Examination Pattern
Candidates qualifying the required standard in the Preliminary Examination are considered for the Engineering Services Main Examination. Stage-II consists of two conventional-type papers from the candidate’s selected engineering discipline.
| Engineering Discipline | Paper-I | Paper-II | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Civil Engineering | 300 | 300 | 600 |
| Mechanical Engineering | 300 | 300 | 600 |
| Electrical Engineering | 300 | 300 | 600 |
| Electronics & Telecommunication | 300 | 300 | 600 |
Each Main Examination paper has a duration of 3 hours. The total marks for Stage-II are therefore 600.
The conventional papers must be answered in English and the question papers are set in English only.
Personality Test/Interview
The third stage is the Personality Test/Interview, which carries 200 marks.
Candidates who secure the minimum qualifying marks prescribed by the Commission in Stage-I and Stage-II are called for the Personality Test/Interview. UPSC states that approximately twice the number of vacancies may be summoned for this stage.
The final ranking is determined using the marks obtained in Stage-I, Stage-II and Stage-III. Service allocation is made according to the applicable rules, rank, service preference and available vacancies.

The admit card will not be sent through ordinary post. Candidates should download the electronic admit card and check their name, roll number, examination centre, date, timing and instructions before appearing in the examination.
UPSC ESE 2027 Preparation Strategy
The Engineering Services Examination requires preparation for both objective and conventional papers. Candidates should therefore avoid preparing only for the Preliminary Examination and should gradually develop Main Examination answer-writing skills.
For the Preliminary Examination, candidates should complete the General Studies and Engineering Aptitude syllabus along with the complete syllabus of their selected engineering discipline.
Regular objective question practice can help candidates improve speed and accuracy. Since the objective papers contain negative marking, preparation should also focus on avoiding unnecessary guesses.
For the Main Examination, candidates should practise descriptive answers within the three-hour time limit. Engineering diagrams, calculations, definitions, derivations and explanations should be presented clearly wherever required.
The Main Examination consists of two papers of 300 marks each, with three hours allotted to each paper. The official instructions also emphasise orderly, effective and exact expression in conventional papers.
A practical preparation cycle can be followed in four stages:
- Complete the syllabus: Cover the complete common and engineering-discipline syllabus.
- Practice previous questions: Solve previous examination questions and identify recurring concepts.
- Take Preliminary mocks: Practise full-length objective tests with time management.
- Develop Main answer writing: Practise conventional questions with proper presentation and time control.
Candidates should also regularly check official UPSC notices because examination dates, vacancies, centres and other administrative details may be changed through subsequent notifications.
UPSC ESE 2027 Final Selection Process
The final selection process consists of three stages: Preliminary Examination, Main Examination and Personality Test/Interview.
| Stage | Maximum Marks |
|---|---|
| Stage-I Preliminary Examination | 500 |
| Stage-II Main Examination | 600 |
| Stage-III Personality Test/Interview | 200 |
| Total | 1300 |
The final ranking is prepared using the marks obtained at the prescribed stages. Candidates are allocated to services/posts according to their rank, service preferences and available vacancies, subject to the applicable rules.
Candidates finally recommended by UPSC are required to undergo the prescribed medical examination. The Medical Board’s findings are treated as final for allotment purposes under the notified provisions.
