 PREFACE

Engineering Services Examination is the gateway to an immensely satisfying job in the engineering sector
of India that offers multi-faceted exposure. The exposure to challenges and opportunities of leading the
diverse field of engineering has been the main reason behind engineering students opting for Engineering
Services as compared to other career options. To facilitate selection into these services, availability of
arithmetic solution to previous years’ paper is the need of the day.

It is an immense pleasure to present previous years’ topic-wise objective solved papers of Engineering
Services Examination (ESE). This book is an outcome of regular and detailed interaction with the students
preparing for ESE every year. It includes solutions along with detailed explanation to all questions. The
prime objective of bringing out this book is to provide explanation to each question in such a manner
that just by going through the solutions, students will be able to understand the basic concepts and have
the capability to apply these concepts in solving other questions that might be asked in future exams.
Towards the end, this book becomes indispensable for every ESE aspiring candidate.
