What preparation?

in Sikkim and hopes and dreams

I might as well tell what I’ve been upto.

The state government of Sikkim has finally (as in finally finally) declared the examination dates for the post of Under Secretary. Unfailingly, this always reminds me of Dolores Umbridge in the Potter books. Also I can safely say that about four or five thousand applicants are anxiously studying with all they got for 40 posts. Thats right, forty - F as in forty, O as in orty, R as in rty, T as in ty and Y as in - you bet the chances are slim, allright.

There’s the English and General Knowledge paper on 12th of April. Then I have additional subjects of Physics and Electrical Engineering whose syllabus looks more & more tougher day by day. Yes, my being an Electronics lecturer will help tremendously but it remains to be seen if it will finally save the day.

Almost all of my other colleagues have opted for their own engineering subject and Sociology as the additional subject. Apparently the syllabus for Sociology was only one paragraph so everyone thought they could nail it with minimum effort. I, on the other hand was either very wise or very stupid to opt for Physics, since I thought I could not risk going along with an entirely new subject.

Lets see how it goes. Oh, and also if I dont talk about this anymore in the months to come - cause thats how long it takes to get the result - I probably didnt make it and we’ll leave it at that.

    Good luck..40 or 50 out of 5000 is not a too bad selection ratio ..
    Physics..reminds me of the days when I really loved mechanics, optics, thermodynamics etc :)

    We think alike :)
    Even I thought of Umbridge the moment I saw the words “Under Secretary”.

    Anyway, all the best for your exams.. Just clear it and pass some Educational Decrees to ban the exam. :P Ahem Ahem.

    Thanks, Deepak. Educational decrees :P We shall see. Hem hem.
