Lomada Nagendra Sai, an IIT Kharagpur graduate, successfully cleared 13 Central government job examinations. He ultimately chose to work as a branch manager for the Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) in Telangana.
Why it matters
The story highlights the high level of competition for government jobs in India and the personal career choices of high-achieving graduates.
His penchant for writing competitive examinations brought this M.Tech graduate from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur a ‘basket full of Central government jobs’. He, however, opted to join the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) and is posted as the branch manager at Mahabubnagar in Telangana .
Lomada Nagendra Sai completed his SSC in his home town, Kadapa, studied Intermediate at Hyderabad and joined IIT Kharagpur for an integrated B.Tech-M.Tech in the industrial and systems engineering stream.
Like everyone else, he opted for the usual route of campus placements, but jobs remained a distant dream when COVID-19 struck, rendering many IT professionals jobless. He then eyed the government sector and started preparing for competitive examinations.
