Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Ans. Sometimes, the best way to learn is by listening to someone who has already experienced it. The ESE Toppers' Talk series provides exactly that: real insights from real toppers. You can hear their journeys, learn how they planned their preparation for ESE exams, what worked, what didn't, and how they remained on track. It's like receiving mentorship without even asking for it. Whether you're just starting or need a push to keep going, these stories can provide both direction and motivation.

Ans. At the beginning of preparation, everyone is a candidate, but some of their special habits make them toppers. Let's see what those tricks are by adopting that you too can become the next topper. As we know, every ESE topper has their way of doing things, but a few strategies come up again and again:

 

  •   •  Break the syllabus into small, manageable parts and stay consistent.
  •   •  Don’t just read, practise, revise, and solve previous year questions.
  •   •  Focus equally on technical subjects and GS/Aptitude.
  •   •  Take mock tests seriously, because mock papers are so important as they help a lot with time management and exam pressure.
  •   •  Most importantly, keep things simple and stick to a plan that works for you.
  •   •  It’s not about doing more; it’s about doing what matters most—and doing it well.

Ans. Most toppers say MADE EASY wasn’t just a coaching institute—it was their backbone during preparation. From experienced faculty who break down tough concepts to structured classes and high-quality study materials, MADE EASY helped them stay focused and exam-ready. The regular test series for mains examination and ESE interview guidance were also game-changers. It created the right environment and gave them the push they needed to stay disciplined and confident throughout the journey.

Ans. Everyone has their journey, and even toppers have tough days. Many struggled with managing time, especially those juggling college and jobs. Others talked about feeling overwhelmed by the vast syllabus or losing motivation halfway through. Self-doubt and burnout were common, too. But what made the difference? They didn’t give up. They built routines, leaned on MADE EASY mentors or coaching support, and stayed focused on the end goal—even when it got tough.

 

Ans. UPSC ESE has a three-stage exam pattern: preliminary, mains, and interview. The preliminary exam consists of two papers, while the ESE Mains exam has two conventional papers, both based on the candidate's chosen engineering discipline. So, for this exam, which has a vast syllabus, toppers usually stick to a mix of quality over quantity. Here’s what they often mention:

  •   •  Standard textbooks for core subjects to build strong fundamentals.
  •   •  MADE EASY class notes and postal study packages for quick and reliable revision.
  •   •  Previous-year question papers of ESE are a must for understanding the exam pattern.
  •   •  For GS and Aptitude, a few well-chosen books and consistent practice go a long way.
