The Indian Engineering Services is one of the most prestigious civil services to the Republic of India, and the exam that recruits for it, the Engineering Services Examination is considered one of the toughest exams in India. After pondering over various experts views on how to prepare for ESE and serve the nation through IES, we've finally collected the wealth of information gained into five points on this article. Do note that due to the nature of Engineering and it's various branches, this article is only going to have the general points that apply to all branches and not specific ones<\/p>
Here's how you can prepare for the IES <\/p>
1. Study regularly <\/b><\/p>
Chances are if you are an IES aspirant then you know the kind of sacrifice and study it requires to achieve what you want to achieve, and thus already know the value of regular preparation. If you are just happening upon this article, however, and want to prepare for IES, worry not, it's not too late. Give yourself enough time to prepare before jumping head first into the exam, which brings us to the second point. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493289755909","data":"5901cb8eb9332"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493289758019","data":"

There, I said it. I said that about the toughest exam in India. We've written multiple articles about how to create plans (like this one<\/a>), but all plans will eventually falter if you don't stick to it at all.

The National Institute of Design was established in the 60s with the goal of driving the creative thinking through designing and encouraging more Indians to be more innovative. Since then it has only grown in stature and today is one of the premier institutions in the country for learning how to design, offering a Bachelors and well as Masters degree in the same. In this article, we dispel myths and talk about what you can do to get into the NID. So, getting down to the brass tacks, we start off with <\/p>
1. No, you don't need to know drawing to get into NID <\/b> <\/p>
This is quite a popular misconception, one that even I held until I did my research: You do not need to know how to draw to get into the NID, but you do need to not be afraid of learning how to draw. Be willing to learn, and NID will turn your life around. During my hunt for information about NID, I heard this term being repeated multiple times, 'You don't need to know drawing to get into NID, you need to knowing drawing to become a designer.'<\/p>
Which basically means you should be willing to learn, because you will be taught how to draw at NID. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493277155963","data":"59019a77de2fb"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493277238835","data":"
2. Know Thy Exam <\/b> <\/p>
The NID conducts an aptitude test every year for the academic year and it's not your typical exam that the rat race runners of Indian schools prepare you for. There's really no proper study material or guide that you can follow to clear the test and get through to NID. All I can say is go through previous question papers and solve them, and you'll understand how unique the exam is. <\/p>
Based on Carl Jung's aptitude test, the exam is comparable to the test the Indian Army uses to recruit officers, and there's no books you can mug to study for that. So how do you even prepare for an exam like this? <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493277955760","data":"5901ac2d592ee"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493277959111","data":"
3. Read newspapers <\/b><\/p>
It should be obvious to you by now that this is not a typical exam. No amount of cramming general knowledge books in your exam will help you as much as reading a newspaper regularly and giving your powers of observations a nice workout. A good designer sees the fault-lines in the world and designs around it, a good designer's biggest asset is their power of observation, which sadly is not taught in a school system where priority is only given to memorising and writing the same in a piece of paper. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493278283711","data":"5901ac47bfa3c"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493278285989","data":"
4. Watch a lot of movies and play unique video games<\/b><\/p>
Design isn't restricted to just one or two mediums, designs exist everywhere, in almost every medium. A great designer watches a ton of movies and some play video games, and more importantly, discuss them. There are some incredibly stylish movies out there, and then there's games like Killer is Dead, Bayonetta, NieR:Automata by Japanese developers that are incredibly stylish and cool to play, and rely a lot on cool design. \\<\/p>
You need these to understand that design is not a set rule in any given situation, design is an ever evolving beast that you can tame and make your own. How you do it, it's up to you, but to do it, you'll have to understand it's nuances. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493279264120","data":"5901ac67a6473"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493279266289","data":"
5. Ambition <\/b><\/p>
For an unconventional exam, you will get unconventional tips. The biggest factor that will get you into the NID is ambition to succeed as a designer. It should be more important to you to be a designer over earning a fat paycheck. People live for their craft, and the ones who go into this field are the ones who put their craft first. Do you have what it takes?<\/p>
We sure hope so! <\/p> "},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493281661937","data":"5901ac853d230"}]
The central government is all set to launch a scheme for students from higher education institutions so they may offer innovative solutions to the current problems in the country. The Human Resources and Development ministry has identified problem areas in the country, and have offered a reward of Rs. 1 Crore.<\/p>
The problem areas identified by the HRD Ministry are as follows: Agriculture, education, water resources and river systems, affordable infrastructure, defence, cybersecurity and information security, environment and climate change, making renewable energy cheaper, affordable health care and computer science. <\/p>
The best solutions for the above mentioned fields will be awarded the prize money, encouraging all students from various colleges and universities across the country to take an interest in it. Name Innovations for Development of Efficient and Affordable Systems or IDEAS for short, this is one of the current government's innovative ways of solving problems. <\/p>"}]
There are various methods to prepare for your exams effectively. It always helps to remember that starting early and not panicking will go a long way in helping you achieve your study goals. That being said, here are some of the techniques you can use to study.<\/p>
1. Chapter Mapping <\/b><\/p>
Chapter mapping or concept mapping is a very powerful and effective method to prepare for your exams. Not only does it save time, it'll also ensure that you are at the top of your game by being effective and on time. Here's a video that explains the concept. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1493219363733","data":"HxvA3VAKExs"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493219366835","data":"
2. Organise your work desk <\/b> <\/p>
An organised work desk can save you more time than you think. When you're preparing for your exams, every second is precious, so there is really no reason for you to waste your time in looking for stuff that's already on your desk. Organise, keep it neat, and save time. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493219899357","data":"5900bc0c5f890"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493219901403","data":"

There are very few professions that allow you to directly impact a person's life and bring positive change through one's actions as much as law and being a lawyer does. With the world becoming smaller each and every day with constant innovations and faster air travel, it is important to acquaint oneself with international law. In times like these when there's a refugee crisis in the Middle East and our own backyard in Myanmar, and with tensions high across the world, it only seems right that we take the initiative to stand up for what's right. <\/p>
That being said, here are a few reasons on why you should consider International Law<\/p>
1. Mounting Tensions <\/b><\/p>
With war, there are war crimes. The saying that history is written by the victor is true, because often we never hear about the atrocities committed by the winners. With the world on the brink of what seems to be another international conflict, students can enable themselves to become a symbol of justice in dark times. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493215930915","data":"5900af76e7165"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493215936499","data":"
2. Admiralty Law<\/b> <\/p>
Cruise ships are all fancy but they are subject to multiple international criminal and private laws. Ships are usually subjected to the laws according to the flag it flies on the mast, but often has a multi cultural crew, as such, international law sets the guidelines for all different nationalities and protects your rights on the high seas. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493216153702","data":"5900af90551aa"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493216155343","data":"
3. Laws Regarding Stateless Persons <\/b><\/p>
The world is a little anti-refugee right now, although there are good people fighting for the cause, people who have no country too are subject to laws, and international law protects their rights. Take the Syrian crisis for example. <\/p>
Another example is an excellent Tom Hanks movie called The Terminal, highly recommended. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493217144755","data":"5900afbf264f5"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493216788011","data":"
4. Commercial Law <\/b> <\/p>
In this day and age of international trading, an Indian company having issue with a Korean one are subject to international laws as it is obviously not an internal issue that can be solved. These things happen more often than most people think. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493216916745","data":"5900afd7698bb"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493216919000","data":"
5. Extradition Laws <\/b> <\/p>
With India hounding Vijay Mallya and trying to get him extradited from the United Kingdom, we understand why international law is important as they also deal with Extradition laws. There are complex laws between countries to return fugitives from their waters and land, and you can fight to bring them to justice. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493217048424","data":"5900afec30609"}]
It is said that service to man is service to God, and if there is one organisation under the government that adopts this ideal into their daily life, it is the NSS. <\/p>
The National Service Scheme, launched in Mahatma Gandhi's centenary year (1969) is now spread across the country in many colleges, with their motto being 'Not me, but you'<\/i> a motto they've been true to as seen by their actions. Every year, the NSS awards the best volunteers from across the country in a ceremony. We speak to Boranchu Manish Reddy, selected for the Best NSS Volunteer award for this year.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493211794262","data":"59009d43b4e87"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493211796028","data":"
Manish, a final year student of CVSR College, joined the NSS in his first year, \"I've always been interested in service, and serving fellow humans is one of the best things you can do for the society,\" says the young student. From volunteering various camps to organising them, Manish has been involved in conducting blood donation camps, eye camps and adopting villages and conducting 7 programs in 7 days. <\/p>
In fact, such is his dedication to service, in 2015, Manish Reddy was awarded the best blood donor award, for regularly donating his blood, as soon as he is able. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493211993067","data":"59009ba130f19"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493211999065","data":"
Manish very humbly points out that he isn't the only winner of the best volunteer award, \"Many people across various colleges applied for the award, but 8 people from Telangana were selected. Of the 8, I'm the only one from JNTU,\" he says, before talking about his time in NSS, \"I've been involved in various events conducted by the NSS. I was also one of the few selected to go to the pre-Republic Day Parade, which in turn has selections for the NSS parade during Republic Day.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493212162392","data":"59009c495836d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493212173365","data":"
We asked Manish what his advice to students who want to follow in his footsteps would be, and he promptly replied, \"There is only one thing I want to say, really. If you want to serve the nation and it's people, do not do it just for the sake of. Love what you're doing, and do what you love.\"<\/p>
An inspiration to many students, especially his juniors, we can only hope more students take Manish Reddy as their inspiration and focus on service and consider joining the NSS. We wish Manish Reddy all the best for his future endeavours. <\/p>"}]
