For This Answer I have Said In Different manner.. Not in Kunjal Shah..
(First of all I will Fill up my Enclosed Space entry Check list..In My Company under checklist 6
Sections Will Be there , I Have Told only that Names of 6 Sections.. He stopped me and which
company u are (UNIVAN) sir .. appreciated me good check list made by company and Answer
also U have to say like this only)

At Last He Said I am Satisfied with Function 5 and Function 6..

After That He said , Sure u will clear the remaining paper also in the next time..
Result:
one By one Went to Chowdary sir room , Atlast he Asked me :
Wat is ur Name
Wat is ur Indos No
Wat Are all The functions U have applied
I am passing U Function 5 (Electrical)..
Thank God (Masha Allah).......
SUGGESTION:
Some of Our Friends are washed out Yesterday, They have Satisfied the external. But They Have
not attempted the all functions in the orals .. They are giving separately like Out of 4 giving only
Function 3 and 5 in Second attempt. Chowdary is angry about not giving all functions.. So HE
didn't give paper for those people.. Friends Be Careful about This...
