The old adage ‘where there is a will, there is a way’ continues to hold true for siblings Parvathy A.S. and Lekshmi A.S. who have surmounted immense odds in their lives.
The congenitally hearing-impaired twins, both of whom are graduates of the College of Engineering Thiruvananthapuram (CET), have cleared yet another hurdle to march ahead towards their ambition. The duo cracked the Engineering Services Examination 2021 conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) by securing the 74th and 75th ranks in the civil engineering category.
The achievement has taken them a step closer towards their dream postings in the Indian Defence Service of Engineers (IDSE). Ms. Lekshmi has been working as assistant engineer in the Irrigation department, while Ms. Parvathy is awaiting appointment through Staff Selection Commission as junior engineer in the Central Public Works department.
