CIZ Success Stories IES (ESE)

“I feel really great to be a part of CIZ. It’s not just an institute, it’s a place where I could learn more than just knowledge of subjects. The faculty at CIZ is so helpful and start from the very basic level. It helped me to pin point my weak areas in Civil Engineering. With the help of CIZ’s booklets and mock test series, i came to know my level of understanding, which really was helpful in IES exam.My overall experience was incredible. I am highlyindebted and thankful to CIZto help me attain my lifelong dream of becoming an IES officer.”
——– Kashish Kukreja, AIR 30 in IES 2015
“During the course of my preparation for IES, the study material provided by CIZ helped me to a very large extent. The format of questions which they made me practice was really similar to the question format that came in IES 2015. Moreover CIZ mock test series proved to be really helpful. It was designed in such a way that each and every concept was cleared. I am short of words in praising CIZ’s efforts and contribution towards my success.”
——– Anand Sooryavanshi, AIR 39 in IES 2015
“I was fortunate enough to join CIZ to accomplish my target of becoming an IES officer. CIZ test series was really helpful. It turned out to be a good practice for the IES exam in terms of difficulty and overall coverage of topics. It helped me to gauge my level of preparation and to fine tune it. I am really indebted to CIZ for my success in IES 2015.”
——– Meet Nathani, AIR 40 in IES 2015
