completing the question paper. Just give small examples in your theory
answers say a small RC circuit or any gate to emphasize your point made in Edits
theory.

8/28/2017 Is choosing electrical engineering for the IAS Mains a feasible/good option? Why? - Quora
In my personal opinion, the optional papers of electrical engineering are
similar over a period of time. The questions are generally similar, with many
repetitions over a period of time. The papers of the last 10 years are a pointer
to the same. Internet connection problem. Hide this message.
Another point of note is that UPSC will never tend to ask extremely dicult
or out of course questions. This makes this optional more predictable with a
higher probability of scoring in the upper spectrum.
The most important thing is the use of internet for the course. There are
many topics which seem extremely dicult and have not been done in
college graduation, especially those in digital communication, coding theory
etc. For this, I would advise the use of electrical lectures available at NPTEL.
For communications part, I used to refer to the site http://www.radio-
electronics.com . Another useful site for electrical engineering is the
http://www.electrical4u.com .
Given the nature of the exam, I strongly suggest to all the aspirants to at least
cover the syllabus once, and prepare the previous years papers even if the
detailed strategy as provided later is not doable.
The solutions for the previous years ESE papers is also a useful asset for the
aspirants as it covers almost the entire spectrum of the course.
The book list given below is not the only source. Try to cover the subjects
from books you have studied in your college and keep these books as
reference only.
Paper-1
Circuit theory should be conceptually very clear. Dont get confused by the
circuit conventions of dierent books, stick to your conventions and answer
will always be the same. The fundamentals of solving a circuit are very
relevant in other subjects like analog electronics, EMT, Analog
communication, machines. So be thorough with this subject to do well in
numericals.
Since the paper is of EE, questions from ECE stream are relatively easy.
Paper 2
Whether you are from EE or any other streamthis paper requires power
system and power system protection to be covered in detail. Finish o these
subjects at the earliest as they are time taking.
For power system Ashfaq Hussain is a good book. Cover it for entire syllabus.
Refer Wadhwa if you dont understand any topic from this book. Cover all
derivations as they may be repeated in 2-3 years.

Microprocessor- for 8085 and its peripheral devices do from Gaonkar. Cover
it completely.
In 2-3 years questions from 8086 can be asked. DV Hall is a good book or you can read
8086 from any research paper/journal online. But cover 8085 properly.
Paper I
1. Circuit Theory: In this topic one should be fast in solving problems. Best
way to gain speed is to practice regularly from IES papers of both electrical
and electronics. Do questions from single IES paper (there are 3-6 questions
every year) within time limit.
3. M. Theory:Read chapter 6(till 6.29), 7 and 8 from K.D. Prasad. For Smith
chart and impedance matching refer Jordan & Balmain. Make the list of
formulas and practice all the derivations.Can also go for IES coaching notes
for theory.
4. Analog Electronics: Diode, Transistors and Ampliers can be done from any
book. Topics that are to be covered from JB Gupta or Gaekwad are:
Oscillators, Op Amp, Wave shaping circuits, Multivibrators, Waveform
Generators and Power supplies.
Paper II

1. Control Systems: Nagrath and Gopal is sucient for all the topics. Practice
from previous year IES and CSE papers.
4. Power Systems: I did this topic from Nagrath and Kothari as I already had
covered the book in graduation. Practice solved examples of both Wadhwa
and this book. Or go for Ashfaq Hussain or any book you had in your
graduation.

4. Analog Electronics:J.B. Gupta. For topics like feedback ampliers and any Is it wise to prepare for both IAS and IES together with
electrical engineering as an optional?
other topics not covered well in that book refer Sedra & Smith.Or Millman
