Overview of the UPSC ESE 2024 Reserve List

The Reserve List contains 82 candidates recommended in order of merit across all four engineering disciplines: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering. This is in accordance with Rule 13(iv) and 13(v) of the ESE Rules 2024, which allows UPSC to maintain a waiting list beyond the main recommended candidates.

• Civil Engineering: 42 candidates including General, EWS, OBC, SC, and ST categories.
• Mechanical Engineering: 10 candidates across General and OBC categories.
• Electrical Engineering: 6 candidates from various reserved categories.
• Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering: 24 candidates representing multiple categories.

This Reserve List ensures that vacancies arising after the initial recommendations can be filled promptly, enabling the smooth functioning of critical engineering departments.

Important Information for Candidates

Candidates included in the reserve list should note the following key points:

• The Reserve List is based on requisitions placed by the Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Communications, which will directly communicate with the recommended candidates for appointment processes.
• Some candidatures are marked as provisional and require document verification. The provisional status is valid for only three months from the date of release. Failure to submit required originals within this time will lead to cancellation.
