Studying at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology and then grabbing an opportunity with a government firm that too in a Maharatna is like a dream come true for many engineers.
In fact, we live in a society where IITians & NITians are considered as marvel superheroes who possess powers to crack any exam they give. Our speaker today though, Prayaas Bhagat, himself an IITian, challenges this impression.
In this video, Prayas talks about his engineering journey where he discusses his internship with BOSCH, his first unsuccessful GATE attempt, and then how he was able to crack it in his second attempt. He also shares his interview experiences with Indian Oil Corporation Limited and helps us to understand his role.
