Director’s Message During the current age of international competition in Science and Technology, the Indian participation through skilled technical professionals have been challenging to the world. Constant efforts and desire to achieve top positions are still required. B. Singh (Ex. IES)
I feel every candidate has ability to succeed but competitive environment and quality guidance is required to achieve high level goals. At MADE EASY, we help you to discover your hidden talent and success quotient to achieve your ultimate goals. In my opinion IAS, IES,
E L
GATE & PSU’s exams are tool to enter in to main stream of Nation serving. The real application of knowledge and talent starts, after you enter in to the working
P M
system. Here in MADE EASY you are also trained to become winner in your life and achieve job satisfaction. MADE EASY aluminae have shared their winning stories of success and expressed their gratitude towards quality guidance of MADE EASY. Our students
A S
have not only secured All India First Ranks in IES, GATE and PSU entrance examinations but also secured top positions in their career profiles. Now, I invite you to become aluminae of MADE EASY to explore and achieve ultimate goal of your life. I promise to provide you quality guidance with competitive environment which is far advanced and ahead than the reach of other institutions. You will get the guidance, support and inspiration that you need to reach the peak of your career. I have true desire to serve Society and Nation by way of making easy path of the education for the people of India. After a long experience of teaching in Civil Engineering over the period of time MADE EASY team realised that there is a need of good Handbook which can provide the crux of Civil Engineering in a concise form to the student to brush up the formulae and important concepts required for IES, GATE, PSUs and other competitive examinations. This handbook contains all the formulae and important theoretical aspects of Civil Engineering. It provides much needed revision aid and study guidance before examinations.
