Combined Engineering Services (CES) Examination

I have completed B.E Degree this year and now want to get a Govt. Job. So I have applied for Combined Engineering Services (CES) Examination conducted by TNPSC. So is there anybody who will provide syllabus of Combined Engineering Services (CES) Examination to purchase its books?
