From 1992 -2017 Volume-II Objective Questions
(As per ESE New pattern)
The Stage-I (Prelims) of ESE -2017 consists of two objective papers. Paper-I is of General
Studies & Engineering Aptitude. Paper-II is of Civil Engineering of 300 Marks and 3 hours
duration. In stage-II (Mains), the technical syllabus is divided into two papers. The subjects
included in this volume are:
1. Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulic Machines, 2. Hydrology
3. Irrigation Engineering 4. Environmental Engineering
5. Geotechnical Engineering 6. Surveying
7. Geology 8. Transportation Engineering
Keeping in view of the above topics, the present Volume-II for prelims of new pattern is redesigned using the
previous questions from 1992 onwards.
The style, quality and content of the Solutions for previous ESE Questions of Civil Engineering, will
encourage the reader, especially the student whether above average, average or below average to learn the concept
and answer the question in the subject without any tension. However it is the reader who should confirm this and
any comments and suggestions would be pleasantly received by the Academy.
It is observed that majority of ESE objective Questions are being asked as it is in many PSUs, state service
commission, state electricity boards and even in GATE exam. Hence we strongly recommend all students who
are competing for various competitive exams to use this book according to the syllabus of the exam concerned.
This book can also be used by fresh Teachers in engineering colleges to improve their Concepts.
We proudly say that questions and solutions right from 1992 onwards are given in this book. The questions
which appeared early 90's are most conceptual oriented and these are being repeated in the recent exams in a
different way. Hence we advise the students to practice these questions compulsorily. The student is also advised
to analyze why only a particular option is co1Tect and why not others. Evaluate yourself, in which case, these
other options are co1Tect. With this approach you yourself can develop four questions out of one question.
The student is advised to solve the problems without referring to the solutions. The student has to analyze the
given question carefully, identify the concept on which the question is framed, recall the relevant equations, find
out the desired answer, verify the answer with the final key such as (a), (b), (c), (d), then go through the hints to
clarify his/her answer. The student is advised to have a standard text book ready for reference to strengthen the
related concepts, if necessary. The student is advised not to write the solution steps in the space around the
question. By doing so, he loses an opportunity of effective revision.
With best wishes to all those who wish to go through the following pages.

SELF HELP
Individual effort is necessary to achieve goals and sustain success in life.
There is a story that illustrates this fact.
A very elderly and a young man were immediate neighbors with only a wall separating their
houses. They planted two identical plants, one each in their respective premises and beyond to
nurture them. While the young man supplied a lot of water and plenty of fertilizer to his plant,
the elderly man supplied minimum water fertilizer to the plant in his premises.
After a few months, the young man's plant became a beautiful sight with lovely green
leaves. The elderly man plants, though not so beautiful, grew in to a strong structure.
One night there was a storm with heavy winds and rain. The next day, the two men came
to check the condition of their respective plants. The young man was shocked to see that while
his plant was totally uprooted, the elderly man's plant was unscathed and standing straight.
When the young man asked the elderly man how this could have happened, the old man replied,
"Son, you supplied the tree with more than resources it needed and so, it never felt the need to go
deep in to earth for its survival. On the other hand, I gave my plant only minimum supply of
resources so that it could barely survive. So to strengthen itself, it had to spread its roots deep in
to earth and by doing so it developed its own strength. This could enable it to resist the winds
and stand strongly. Increasing one's ability depends on one's own effort and what other do for us
provides only a good base".
This story should be an eye opener to both students and teachers. Remember -A teacher
is only a ladder and not an escalator! Students should utilize the knowledge imparted by the
teacher as a strong base, show the zeal to go deep into the subject and widen the scope of their
knowledge. There is no elevator to success. There are only steps. Climb them. Also the teacher
should always be an inspiring model to the students. All ofus should keep this in our mind.
The way to Heaven is only through Hell ! No pains, No gains ! !
*** WITH BEST WISHES TO ALL THE STUDENTS ***
