Directors 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 & PSUs 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.
