Haritha V Kumar is an Engineer by profession who completed her degree in Electronics and Communication from Government College of Engineering, Barton Hill. She is currently undergoing training as an Indian Revenue Service Probationer at NACEN.  She is also an ardent lover of Carnatic Music, Old Malayalam Movie Songs & Malayalam Literature.

Out of the 13,092 candidates who qualified for the mains examination, 2674 of them were selected for the personality test and interview. A total of 998 candidates were successful after the interview process. There were 245 girls in the final list of selected candidates.

The second rank also went to a student from Kerala University, V.Sriram who is an MBBS student. Stuti Charan of Delhi was ranked third.

Soon, I moved to New Delhi and started my job hunt. Gave interviews, ran after consultancies etc. One instance, I went for an interview in Noida. It was a very small company and would give us job for 6 months without pay but yes,you would have learnt a lot. I was astonished to see that even for a job without pay there were around 500 people. I pity the situation of Engineers today cos from childhood without knowing we were asked to Run even without knowing why we were doing so. It’s nobody’s fault. That 1000 sq.feet company became the destination of every engineer’s dream and a door shut for the helplessness, trauma and frustration. I did see tired and hopeful eyes around me at the same time. Tired for the pressure of being unemployed and hopeful that this may end today. I remember that day everyone started to push and became uncontrollable. Clearly remembering,being a girl I climbed the gate of the office and caught shirt of one guy so that somehow I am in the first row of students to be called. I managed to go 4th for the walk-in. I was satisfied with my interview and waited 3 hrs for the result in that no-mans land. Even the guard didn’t offer water when students asked them. After waiting, it was declared that the vacancy has been filled by someone on referral. After continuous banging throughout the day when you come to know this, only an engineer can say what it feels like. I was much dejected and decided to go home for sometime. One feels at the end of the world every time. One loses confidence on himself.

I returned back to Delhi after 20 days and got a call from very good company but alas was rejected in the final round. My parents wanted me to return back but I was adamant and less humane this time with a determination.After 2 days, I got selected in world’s 5th best company to work for. The phase had ended. The darkness was engulfed by light. Today, I am really happy with my job and have become more innovative to grow in this industry. So remember, after every sunset their is a sunrise and this dark phase can transform you in most positive way. Don’t just add to the mob of Engineers. Do what you want. Many engineers including me never had interest.So don’t do what you are bound to do and leave what you love doing. I wanted to become a lawyer but somehow managed to be an okay engineer. I hope you find this worth reading.
