The Engineering Service Examination( ESE) Mains 2021 will be conducted by the UPSC(Union Public Service Commission on November 21, 2021. Only those candidates who have qualified the ESE pre-exam will be allowed to take this stage of exam. The ESE Mains 2021 admit card has already been released on the official website, upsc.gov.in.
Now, only less than a week is left for the exam and candidates should further focus on their preparations along with being stress-free. To give their preparations an extra boost, we have listed some of the important topics that add to the questions list in the exam. If you prepare the exam with the help of strategies that help you score more, it would be easier to rank high. The following topics are very much a part of the ESE Mains 2021 syllabus.
UPSC ESE 2021 (Mains) Civil engineering important topics:
— Structural analysis – slope deflection method, MDM, Truss and matrix
— Fluid mechanics – laminar flow, boundary layer flow, turbine, and pumps, dimensional analysis
— Steel structure – plastic analysis, compression member, connections and
— Hydrology – Gumbel method, hydrograph, probability of occurrence, phi index
— Environment – trickling filter, solid waste management, BOD
— Irrigation – consumptive use, wells, aquifer
UPSC ESE mechanical engineering important topics for Mains 2021
As per last year, chapters such as thermodynamic and heat transfer and turbomachinery and power plant engineering were given the most weightage in Paper I. Similarly, in Paper-II, chapters such as engineering mechanics and strength of materials and manufacturing, industrial and maintenance engineering were given the more weightage. This year again, these chapters might get more importance as they are vast and comprise multiple important concepts. Their importance is of course, based on their relevance to the specific Engineering branch.
Apart from this, candidates can also practice questions from previous years and refer to the UPSC ESE answer keys to analyse the range of topics generally asked.
UPSC ESE 2021 (Mains) electrical engineering important topics
Let’s analyze the weightage that candidates need to give to each chapter and determine a chapter’s importance based on last year’s weightage. The weightage of important chapters is as follows –
— Electrical circuits and fields – 96 marks
— Basics of electronic engineering – 90 marks
— Electrical and electronic measurements – 84 marks
— Engineering mathematics – 72 marks
— Electrical materials – 72 marks
UPSC ESE 2021 (Mains) electronics and telecommunication engineering are important topics
In this branch, candidates can get an idea about important topics based on previous-year trends. In 2020, the following were the important chapters and their respective weightage –
— Network theory – 128 marks
— Material science – 84 marks
— Basic electronic engineering – 64 marks
— Electronic measurement and telecommunication – 60 marks
— Digital circuits – 58 marks
