the ilvsz year Degree class he received training in
Practical Solid Geometry and Machine Drawing of simple
kind which he completed very satisfactorily and secured
77% marks (average marks) for his sessional Drawings and
hand-sketches.
I found Mr. Khastgir a very intelligent and
diligent student in the class, and was one of our best
students during that session.
Throughout his second year career, in the
Mechanical Drawing class I always found him a very earnest,
painstaking and hardworking student who always tried to
make bis drawings and sketches complete and as perfect
as possible and that he never hesitated to cancel his
nearly finished drawing and start a new one, if necessary,
in oraer to improve the design and draughtsmanship.
I always admired him for his painstaking nature
He improved very much at the end of the Second Year Drawing
Session and secured 84% marks (average marks) for his second
year sessional drawings in Mechanical Engineering.
