Frequently asked questions
What is UPSC ESE?
UPSC ESE stands for UPSC Engineering Services Examination 2026: Civil Engineering Prelims Paper II and is an entrance examination in the Engineering group. It is a single-stage Stage I Prelims: Civil Engineering Paper II paper.
What is the UPSC ESE exam pattern?
UPSC ESE has 150 questions worth 300 marks in 180 minutes, covering Civil Engineering Paper II (150 questions, 300 marks). This pattern is marked review-pending: it rests on consistent corroboration from secondary sources because the examining body's own document could not be read directly, so check it against the official notification before you rely on it.
Is there negative marking in UPSC ESE?
Yes. Each incorrect answer deducts 0.667 marks in UPSC ESE, and an unanswered question scores zero.
Is this UPSC ESE pattern up to date?
The figures on this page describe the UPSC ESE pattern for the 2026 cycle and were last checked on 10 September 2026, against the source linked on this page. It carries a review-pending label rather than an official one, which is shown on the page rather than hidden.
Does this mock test cover the official UPSC ESE syllabus?
The UPSC ESE tests here are built to the sections the official pattern names (Civil Engineering Paper II), and each is checked against that pattern before it is published. Granular topic labels beneath those sections are a TakeMockTest preparation map, not an official subtopic list, unless stated otherwise.
