Atlast I decided to register my BECSE degree in the employment office. I came to know that I can register at my district office too and went there. Everyone was waiting for the office to get opened. As usual/unusual, the office was opened by 10:15am, fifteen minutes late of the opening time.
The first problem I faced there is my shyness to strangers. I will not admit myself to seek other person’s introduction. But, I was reverse in practice. I soon got a stranger as partner there. After this experience, I almost lost that shyness, really
I was waiting in the enquiry counter in a long queue, to query about my need(to register for my degree). There was no one in the enquiry counter, there was no chair laid for the officer too, which means, the counter will not be treated for its purpose. I came to know this only after 30 minutes. Then I asked the office assistant and he directed me to an officer/clerk(I dont know what his post is, but all of the applicants must see him to seek any action).
I stood up in another queue, waiting for my turn. Finally, the clerk said me that I should apply at Chennai, and I should wait till 11:30am, to get the instructions. I did so, as others did too. There was one full hour for 11:30. I was talking to my new partner and was skimming through various notices on the wall. Suddenly, I found a notice holding the intructions for registering BE. After reading it, I found that I can apply here itself, and I need two attested copies of my original certificates.
I am short of an attested copy of one of those certificates. I went to the nearby ITI and got that too. When I returned back, it was 11:35 and again contacted the office assistant. Now I was forwarded to the same clerk. I was waiting there for a long time in the queue and got his instructions. He gave us an application form to register, we filled up, and then he signed them after getting our address details in a separate sheet of paper. At every stage of this process, we were asked to wait for 15 minutes.
When he signed the applications, he forced us to meet the Junior Employment Officer soon, because she might go off to have her lunch. She had to sign the applications, after which the registration process will get over. By the time we headed her table(at 1:35pm), she ordered us to wait until she comes back from lunch, after 2:00pm. No way, we had to wait. Even after she came back at 2:45pm, she again ordered us to wait for a while, to attend the others waiting. Finally, she signed the application and I left the office at 3:30 pm.
Woof! I have registered my BE degree. To know the things behind the scenes click here.
