Rohan: Thank you very much Sir.
Officer: Well! Bright students like you generally proceed to foreign universities for higher studies. How come you didn't opt for it?

Rohan: Is there any exam to be passed at the end of the training sir?
Officer: No. No exam as such. But you will be assessed for your performance through the entire training period.
Rohan: Sir, when will I get to know the result of this interview?
Officer: Say, within two weeks. You see, we have scheduled a number of interviews for this week. You have a bright chance Mr. Rohan. Best of luck!
