Prof. Narayanan graduated in Physics from the University of Madras in 1941 with a first rank and was awarded the Pattabhirama Reddy Gold medal of the University. Thereafter in 1941, he was admitted to the three year certificate course in Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore (This certificate is considered as equivalent to a degree of a University by UPSC and other accredited bodies). He was awarded the certificate of the Institution in 1944. Thereafter, he served in Kolkata for about a year in the Patent Office. He was then selected by the Govt. of India in 1946 under the Overseas Scholarship Scheme for Advanced Studies meant for the post-war reconstruction of India and was admitted in the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Manchester as a research scholar. He spent 2 years there in research and was awarded the M.Sc. degree of the University in 1948 for my thesis. Thereafter he spent about 6 months training at the Metropolitan Vickers Mfg. Co. and returned to India. Prof. Narayanan was appointed as a Senior Lecturer in Electrical Engineering in 1950 in the then Delhi Polytechnic. In 1955, he was selected by the Govt. of Canada (under the Colombo plan) to undergo training in the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission for 6 months. He was promoted as Asst.
