Chairman: Mr. Revu, You did B.Tech from REC Warangal, ME from IISc,

less.
Chairman: That means you will get job after diploma.
Raju: Yes Sir, I got a private job. Company is Cain energy limited.
Chairman: Then, why did you join B.Tech?
Raju: Sir, After completion of my diploma, I wrote ECET and I got state 1st
rank. So I convinced my father that I will join REC which is a premier
Engineering institute in our state.
Chairman: Then, you joined ME because your father insisted on that?
Raju: No Sir, It is based on my project guide ճ suggestion.
Sir, infact there are two streams to enter into B.Tech. One through EAMCET after Intermediate and other is through ECET. After ECET...

knowing this result suggested me to join IISc. He further told that this is the
golden opportunity for me. ԉf you miss it you will not get it again! ՠ he told
sir. Then, I informed about my career option as civil services. He then
convinced me by saying that I can write civil services after M.E. also.

IISc?
Raju: I beg to differ with you sir. I started my preparation only after
completion of M.E.

i.e., leave on loss of pay.
