5 Engineering Myths Busted!

Don’t think me as a guru or mentor. I am just your senior friend trying to help you out. I am sure this will save your life ! Myth #1: If you are an exam ranker you will be recruited first; then your fellows ! Your friends start acting weird just before exams. The corridors choke with jealousy. The silence within your group is not often of the exam pressure but the feeling that you might surpass them if they help you.
