Preface
UPPSC Assistant Engineer Examination has been always preferred

by Engineers due to job stability and opportunity to work in home sate.

UPPSC 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 year’s papers are advisable B. Singh (Ex. IES)

to solve before a candidate takes the exam. This book is also useful for MP

State 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. I have true desire

to serve student community by providing good source of study and quality guidance. I hope this book will be

proved an important tool to succeed in UPPSC and other competitive exams. Any suggestions from the readers

for improvement of this book are most welcome.

With Best Wishes
