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.

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,

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 aluminae 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 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.
