The B.Tech. CME runs 3 year Engineering degree courses for the Corps of Engineers, Signals and EME Corp. Since all officers are either Arts or Science graduates this 3 years course was sufficient for them to qualify for B.Tech. The final examination is conducted by Jawaharlal Nehru Uuniversity, New Delhi and degree awarded. Ganesan and other course mates returned to CME less one. Capt SP.Dingra, a brilliat officer from NDA who was posted to Samba sector in the western front on suspension of CME courses was killed in the war. Capt Ajmeer singh who had lost one eye and few fingers in the 1965 war was posted to Bengal sappers centre as he was not fit for war but was sent to flood relief works in Orissa. There Ajmeer did excellent works and was awarded Vashist Seva Medal. So the course resumed with valour. Those who did not go for war and present in CME gave grand reception.
Rest of the CME tennure was as usual. Ganesan was playing all games and also standing first amongst those selected civil engineering. His course won the inter-officers course championship five times out of six they took part. In all the course at CME was good. On 28 July 1973 Ganesan was awarded the Degree by Lt.Gen.P.S.Bhagath, the GOC IN C Northern command. On completion of the degree course Ganesan was again posted to 4ER. The Regiment who moved to Jodhpur from the eastern sector had completed their tennure and moved to Bangalore. After reporting at Bangalore Ganesan was given annual leave for 1972 and he left Bangalore. contd......
