The Story in Brief
A 27-year-old engineer from Telangana, Sandeep Yadav, has secured the post of Deputy Manager at NHAI after achieving the 46th All India Rank in Civil Engineering through the GATE 2024 exam. Yadav lost his father, a farmer, when he was in class 7 and then supported his family by farming between studies. He studied eight hours daily after his mother took up domestic work, and he eventually cleared the NHAI exam in 2022 after his GATE rank expired in 2021, finally receiving his appointment letter in 2025.
The Indian Opinion
This story is a welcome antidote to lazy narratives about youth being entitled or giving up. Sandeep Yadav's nine-year grind after losing his father at 14 shows grit, not a handout. While some pundits mock Telangana's job quotas or blame online games for laziness, here is a young man who studied eight hours daily and cracked GATE. Instead of framing success as luck or privilege, let us note that hard work and preparation won him a job worth Rs 80,000 a month. His journey from a rented room to a government desk proves the system can work – if you refuse to lower your aim.
