During the last few decades of engineering academics, India has witnessed geometric growth in engineering graduates. It is noticeable that the level of engineering knowledge has degraded gradually, while on the other hand competition has increased in each competitive examination including GATE and UPSC examinations. Under such scenario higher level efforts are required to take an edge over other
