Directors Message
UPSC has introduced the sectional cutoffs of each paper and screening cut off in
three objective papers (out of 600 marks). The conventional answer sheets of only
those students will be evaluated who will qualify the screening cut offs.
In my opinion the General Ability Paper was easier than last year but Civil
Engineering objective Paper-I and objective Paper-II both are little tougher/
lengthier. Hence the cut off may be less than last year. The objective papers of ME
and EE branches are average but E&T papers are easier than last year.

Syllabus Covered : All Technical Subjects alongwith 10 subjects of paper-I (as per revised syllabus of ESE 2017)
Engineering Mathematics Reasoning & Aptitude
Books & Reading References : Technical Subjects (Theory Book + Work Book) Engineering Mathematics
Reasoning & Aptitude Previous Years GATE Solved Papers General English Previous Years IES Solved Papers
(Objective & Conventional)
Difference between Regular and Weekend Course :
In Regular Course, classes are conducted for 4 to 6 hours per day in a week for 8 to 9 months where as in Weekend
Courses take 10 to 11 months for completion of syllabus as classes run nearly 8 to 9 hrs/day on every weekends and

(e 1)
For the Otto cycle, depends only on r, the compression ratio.

For the Diesel cycle, efficiency depends on r and (the cutt of reatio).
If compression ratio increase, for the diesel cycle, the expansion ratio (= r /) will also
increase, is always than r. is always greater than 1. And r is also always greater
than 1. Thus the negative value of numerator of diesel cycle will be lesser. Since r is
in the denominator of the negative term of the diesel cycle, the increase in of the
diesel cycle will be lesser than that of Otto cycle when r increases due to the other
factor.
If cut off ratio (= ) decrease it is clear from diesel , that the numerator of the negative
term will decrease more than the denominator. Thus the diesel cycle will increase.

conventional practice questions.
The content is very much student friendly expressed in lucid language such that an average student can also
understand the concepts easily. The content is self sufficient and there will be no need to refer several text books for
any subject.
Content includes :
Theory books with solved examples.
Objective practice booklets.
Conventional practice booklets (for ESE).
Previous exam solved papers (15 to 25 years).
General studies and Engineering Aptitude booklets (As per ESE-2017 syllabus).
Note :
Postal Study Course for only General Studies and Engg. Aptitude paper (Paper-I of ESE-2017) is also available.
Many students are selected every year in ESE, GATE & PSUs by reading Postal Study Course only.
Postal Study course is also available at all centres of MADE EASY.

Statement (I) : First law of thermodynamics analyses the problem quantitatively whereas
second law of thermodynamics analyses the problem qualitatively.
Statement (II) : Throttling process is reversible process.
Ans.
(c)
106.
Statement (I) : To prevent knocking in SI engines the end gas should have a low density.
Statement (II) : Pre-ignition is caused due to detonation.
Ans.
(c)
(I) For lower density, the charge (Air + Fuel) at the end charge will be loss. Thus mass
fuel will also be less. Energy available will be less. Temperature of the end charge
will be less. Knocking is prevented.
(II) Detonation is caused due to PREIGNITION. (The other way normal).
107.
Statement (I) : Knocking in Petrol engine is the auto-ignition of the rich mixture entering
the combustion chamber.
Statement (II) : Knocking is due to high compression ratio.
Ans.
(b)
(I) For a riches mixture, the fuel supplied will be more. More energy will be liberated.
Temperature will be higher for the charge. Knocking is developed.
(II) For higher compression ratio, the temperature is higher. Knocking takes place (Thus
compression ratio is lesser for petrol engines. Between 6 and 10).
108.
Statement (I) : Automotive Petrol engines require Petrol of Octane number between
85-95.
Statement (II) : Automotive Diesel engines require Diesel oil of Cetane number between
85-95.
Ans.
(c)
(I) Higher octane no; better is the running of petrol engines (loss knocking)
(II) Max contane no, for diesel engines is around 55.
109.
Statement (I) : In Automotive Petrol engines during idling operation a rich mixture is
required (F /A 0.08)
Statement (II) : Rich mixture is required because mixture is diluted by products of
combustion.

Ans.
(a)
(I) For idling conditions slow speeds more energy is needed to run the engine. Hence,
rich mixture . Thus statement II is also correct.
110.
Statement (I) : Piston temperature profiles near full load are flattened in case of liquid
cooled engines whereas for air cooled engines temperature profiles are steeper.
Statement (II) : The piston temperature profiles are different in nature for liquid cooled
and air cooled engines because of the different values of heat capacities.
Ans.
(a)
(I) Higher the load, higher the temperature. Thus slope is less.
(II) More heat transfer takes places when cooling takes place by liquid. More change
in temperature.
111.
Statement (I) : Effective temperature is an index which correlates the combined effect
of air temperature, air humidity and air movement upon human thermal comfort.
Statement (II) : Thermal comfort is not affected by mean radiant temperature.
Ans.
(c)
112.
Statement (I) : Commercial airplanes save fuel by flying at higher altitudes during long
trips.
Statement (II) : At higher altitudes, the ambient temperature and the Carnot efficiency
are low.
Ans.
(c)
113.
Statement (I) : In a venturimeter, the divergent section is much longer as compared

to the convergent section.
Statement (II) : Flow separation occurs only in the diverging section of the venturimeter.
Ans.
(a)
A in diverging section, flow separation may occur due to adverse pressure graedient,
to avoid this it is kept much longer then converging section.
114.
Statement (I) : In Fanno flow, heat transfer is neglected and friction is considered.
Statement (II) : In Rayleigh flow, heat transfer is considered and friction is neglected.
Ans.
