Hello,

GATE and IES, both are totally different examinations.

GATE is an entrance examination to get admission into IITs, NITs or other engineering colleges for post graduation courses in Engineering, Architecture, etc. In GATE, the top 10% students get a chance to work in PSUs as an engineer. The various companies that recruit on GATE basis are BHEL, ONGC, NTPC, BPCL, etc.

Indian Engineering Services ( IES ) is organised by UPSC and it is typically an exam to work in various government sectors such as Indian railway service, Indian Ordnance Factories Services, Indian defense services, Indian Naval Armament Service or Indian Telecommunication services.

The syllabus of IES covers the whole syllabus of engineering, whereas the syllabus of GATE is limited upto the topics that are important by perspective of Post Graduation.

Best Wishes.

hello aspirant, gate exam is taken if you want job in a government sector or if you want to go for mtech in IIT's or NIT's. Ies exam is taken to get a job in the engineering sector by the government. It is only for 4 branches-Civil, mechanical, ECE,EEE.

IES exam has vast syllabus compared to gate, Gate has smaller syllabus when compared to IES, you can watch online tutorials and practice sums to crack both the exams.

hope this helps.

Thank you.
