He narrated many humorous and witty incidents form his personal experience that made the interaction more interesting and a memorable one.

On the contrary, Dr Deol highlighted the ugly face of social issues also like bribery that suppres the qualities of competent candidates. But he boosted the morale of the students by advising them to be committed and sincere to their work to be a winner and to retain the edge, whatever are the circumstances. Dr Deol concluded his lecture by quoting Swami Vivekanand, “Take upon ideas and make it an essential part of your life. Think of it, dream if it, work on it and it will surely lead you to success.”

The lecture was followed by a question-answer session. Finally, a workshop on mock interview was conducted by Dr Deol and Dr Kumar, retired HoD, Department of Computer Sciences, PAU, which analysed their skills and gave them more tips on how to handle interview more effectively in the future.

The Director, Mr Kuldip Singh, and the coordinator, Mr G.S. Dua, GGNIMT, were also present. They thanked and honoured the guest for sharing his views with the students.
