Engineer exams

Domicile certificate is basically a legal document issued by the court or any other government body of the state which proves that you are a legal resident of that state. Many state government engineering entrance examinations require domicile certificate because the state government do not allow outsiders to take admission in the government engineering colleges in the state. Many have some kind of reservation like few percent of seats are reserved for the same state while few percent seats are open for other state students. Jharkhand combined entrance competitive examination (JCECE) do not allow outsiders to take admission in its government engineering colleges so they demand domicile certificate for that and joint admission council Delhi have 80 percent seats reserved for students who have domicile of Delhi while rest 20 percent are open for all.
However, all state engineering colleges do not require domicile certificate. If you want to take admission in open seats then you don't have to submit domicile certificate.
Hope it helped.
Thanks.

Hello,
Indian Engineering Services Exam is conducted by UPSC and follows the same pattern that UPSC follows for civil services exam. Of course, as the name suggests one should be a graduate in engineering in certain branches or M.Sc in some cases. Also, the candidate should be less than 30 years of age which is relaxable in certain cases., but I will not bore you with all this mundane information since it is available in detail on the website of UPSC in downloadable PDF form.Let us turn to the main issue of preparation for the exam. It is considered as one of the toughest exams of UPSC. If successful, one gets the opportunity to join GoI service with possibility to rise to the level of Secretary in the GoI.
The fundamentals remain same. One must be clear in concepts. One must be clear in the English language. One must be adept in personal interviews. The syllabus is quite vast but then one has passed engineering and questions are from that branch only. So, those who have studied well will find it very easy. English and general knowledge can be brushed up. I would advise aspirants to join a good coaching class since these classes prepare you with tricks of answering which is quite valuable. Also, they will conduct mock exams and mock interviews that are a must.
To conclude, I will say that for an engineer, it is not tough but the nuances need to be studied and assimilated.

I am not sure where you are studying and what is the context of this question, it certainly sounds bizarre that your professor is asking you to cheat. Having said that, I am also aware that certain institutes allow open book/notes exams where students are allowed to refer to book and/or notes during the examination. I guess the objective being, with availability of all resources at your disposal, how well would you perform. Needless to say, in order to make effective use to books/notes, you should know what and where to refer and that in turn means you would have at least been through the books and notes once, if not more.
I am not sure, but I do hope that, this is the context and background with which your professor asked to cheat.
