Yes, the candidate having a degree in Computer Science can apply for the Engineering Service Exam but they need to choose the engineering branch (from the four options) for appearing in the exam and prepare the syllabus provided in the IES notification. -
The UPSC Engineering Services Examination Notification states that - a candidate must have earned an engineering degree from a university established by an act of the Central or State Legislature in India, from another educational institution founded by an act of Parliament, or from a university declared to be deemed a university under section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, to be eligible to take the exam.
The candidate must, however, choose any one of the four subjects - civil, mechanical, electrical, or electronics - for which they wish to take the exam.
