 PREFACE

It is an immense pleasure to present topic wise previous years solved paper of Engineering
Services Exam. This booklet has come out after long observation and detailed interaction with the
students preparing for Engineering Services Exam and includes detailed explanation to all questions.
The approach has been to provide explanation in such a way that just by going through the
solutions, students will be able to understand the basic concepts and will apply these concepts in
solving other questions that might be asked in future exams.

Engineering Services Exam is a gateway to a immensly satisfying and high exposure job in engineering
sector. The exposure to challenges and opportunities of leading the diverse field of engineering
has been the main reason for students opting for this service as compared to others. To facilitate
selection into these services, availability of arithmetic solution to previous year paper is the need
of the day. Towards this end this book becomes indispensable.
