MPSC conduct Maharashtra engineering services examination commonly known as MES.For recruitment in various civil engineering departments.We’ll discuss about MPSC MES Mains examination.
For the final selection applicants must complete two phases of the examination followed by an interview
- Maharashtra engineering services (MES) Prelims (100 marks)
- Maharashtra engineering services (MES) Mains (400 marks)
- Personal Interview (50 marks)
Let’s talk about MPSC MES Mains exam. Mpsc prelims exam is only qualifying in nature but the most important part is mains examination. Because it is the deciding factor for selection.Top marks in mains examination confirms the selection of post.

There are 20 subjects for the exam which divides entire Civil engineering syllabus in parts.
Speciality mpsc mes mains exam is , All the subjects have nearly equal weightage!
So preparaing for Mains exam becomes tricky.It requires proper planning with accurate strategy.
Suppose you are very good in some subjects i.e. like Geotechnical engineering or Environmental engineering but that subjects are too lengthy. If you more focused on such subjects it will be very time consuming.
On the other hand , some subjects are very short which can be completed within short period.
So the conclusion is , You require detailed study of syllabus and exam pattern with previous year question pattern.
Let’s see subject wise weightage,
