ESE 2019 UPSC Engineering Services Mains Civil Engineering Conventional Paper II, Previous Conventional Questions With Solutions, Subject wise and Chapter wise - Previous Years for 31 years (1987-2018) Conventional Questions with solutions,  (English, Paperback, By Subject Experts of the ACE Engineering Academy)

In UPSC Engineering Services, conventional papers have 54.5% weightage in the entire process of written test. In paper-2 of civil engineering eight subjects are included as follows: 1. Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulic Machinery 2. Hydrology 3. Irrigation Engineering 4. Environmental Engineering 5. Geotechnical Engineering 6. Surveying 7. Transportation Engineering 8. Geology The following approach is advisable to secure maximum marks. The solution to any question shall have the following appropriate steps generally. Steps will also have due weightage. (a) The Data given (b) The appropriate figure, if applicable, with parts labeled properly (c) The concept on which the problem is being solved (d) The relevant formulae with standard notations and abbreviations. In case the paper setter asks to solve question from the fundamentals, necessary derivations shall be done. Otherwise 70% of marks one has to lose. If the question carries more marks like 10 to 20 marks detailed analysis is compulsorily to score high. If the question carries less marks (<8) the formulae with abbreviations and concept may be sufficient. In any case, the assumptions made shall be written clearly while solving a problem. • The neatness and presentation of solutions will have 5 % marks. • Note that all parts of a question shall be answered together. • Using short sentences and brevity in expressing the content is appreciated • Practice of numerical problem using calculator is very much essential instead or reading merely. • Try to understand and practice the solutions keeping in view QCAB format.
