The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has officially announced the final results for its Engineering Services Examination (ESE) 2025. A total of 458 candidates have successfully qualified. These candidates are now recommended for appointment to Group A and Group B engineering positions across various central government ministries and departments.
The ESE is a highly competitive examination for engineers seeking government service. This year, UPSC aimed to fill 554 vacancies through the 2025 examination cycle. The declared results show that 458 candidates met the stringent selection criteria, leaving some vacancies unfilled at this stage.
Qualified candidates will be placed in diverse roles. These include posts in Civil Engineering, such as construction and infrastructure development; Mechanical Engineering, focusing on design and maintenance; Electrical Engineering, dealing with power systems; and Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, involving communication networks and systems. These roles are crucial for national development projects.
Accessing Results and Marksheets
Candidates can access and download their UPSC Engineering Services Examination 2025 final results directly from the official commission website. The URL is upsc.gov.in . UPSC will also publish the detailed marksheets for all candidates on its portal within 15 days from the date of the result announcement. Candidates should check the website regularly for updates on marksheet availability.
Examination Process Overview
The ESE 2025 selection process involved two main stages: a comprehensive written examination and a personality test. The written examination component was conducted in August 2025 . Following the written exam, successful candidates proceeded to the personality test, which UPSC held between October and November 2025 . The final list of recommended candidates is based on performance in both these rigorous stages.
Discipline-wise Qualifications
Among the 458 qualified candidates, Civil Engineering had the highest number of recommendations, with 202 individuals . Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering followed, with 116 candidates qualifying. Electrical Engineering saw 79 candidates recommended, and 61 candidates qualified in Mechanical Engineering. These figures highlight the distribution of successful candidates across the four major engineering disciplines tested by UPSC.
Detailed Qualification Breakdown
| Discipline | Total Candidates Recommended | General | EWS | OBC | SC | ST |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Civil Engineering | 202 (including 8 PwBD-1 and 7 PwBD-3 candidates) | 78 | 26 | 54 | 26 | 18 |
| Mechanical Engineering | 61 (including 2 PwBD-1 and 1 PwBD-3 candidates) | 22 | 5 | 21 | 10 | 3 |
| Electrical Engineering | 79$ (including 3 PwBD-1 candidates) | 30 | 10 | 21 | 12 | 6 |
| Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering | 116 (including 5 PwBD-1 candidates) | 38 | 9 | 37 | 20 | 12 |
| Total | 458 (including 18 PwBD-1 & 8 PwBD-3 candidates) | 168 | 50 | 133 | 68 | 39 |
UPSC noted a specific adjustment in Electrical Engineering vacancies. One PwBD-3 backlog vacancy was interchanged with a PwBD-1 vacancy. This change occurred because no eligible PwBD-3 candidate was available for recommendation in that category.
Appointment Procedures
Appointments for the qualified candidates will proceed strictly according to existing government rules and regulations. The final allocation to various Services and Posts depends on multiple factors. Candidates’ ranks obtained in the examination play a primary role. Their expressed preferences for specific services or departments also influence the allotment process, as stated in the official UPSC notification.
