ESE Mechanical Engineering Books

UPSC IES ESE Mechanical Engineering Reference Books List

1. Top Mechanical Engineering Books you must have before started preparing for ESE Exams

All these books are recommended to practice simultaneously while studying theory. As without practicing question bank you can’t get 100% concept. If theory build-up your concept up to 30 to 40 present the practicing question related to the topic will boost your concept up to 70 to 80 %. And the rest will come automatically by doing revision from time to time. We suggest the ESE aspirants to solving previous year question paper at least 2 to 3 times to get deep knowledge about the pattern. You will get that each and every year, objective questions come from some selected topic only. And the level of questions paper is very easy. So you have to become the master to all those topics and it happens only when you solve previous year questions paper. That’s why we have also listed some IES-ESE Reference Books – Mechanical Engineering.

As ESE pattern changed from 2020, you have to focus more on an objective question to qualify prelims but should not ignore conventional totally. Furthermore conventional is a very wide area and might become very challenging to prepare it after prelims.  So focus on objective as well as convention from beginning. Following are the most common IES-ESE Reference Books – Mechanical Engineering.

Importance of solving previous year GATE paper in ESE

GATE previous year questions are highly recommended to solve because ESE has not left even a single questions of GATE. Each and every year at least 10 to 20 questions come from previous years GATE question paper. That’s why we have also added GATE previous year solved book in our recommended IES-ESE Reference Books – Mechanical Engineering.
