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 CSE, ESE,
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
system. Here in MADE EASY you are also trained to become winner in your life
and achieve job satisfaction.
MADE EASY alumni have shared their winning stories of success and expressed
their gratitude towards quality guidance of MADE EASY. Our students have not
only secured All India First Ranks in ESE, GATE and PSU entrance examinations
but also secured top positions in their career profiles. Now, I invite you to
become alumni 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 ESE, 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.
