Chandigarh, March 16

Rahul Ahlawat, a final year BE student of University Institute of Engineering and Technology, PU, has secured AIR-25 in the mechanical engineering stream of the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) examinations, the results of which were declared by IIT Delhi on Friday. Rahul scored 81.93 marks out of 100.

Rahul was awarded a cash prize of Rs 3,000 for achieving best GATE score in the department of the UIET. The award was given by the Director Savita Gupta in the presence of Coordinator Manu Sharma and GATE committee in-charge Dr Shankar Sehgal.

Rahul (20) said it was truly a proud moment for his family and university. Discussing his future strategy, he said, “I want to prepare for the UPSC exam in future, however, my immediate next goal is to join in a public sector unit (PSU) for serving the nation.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
