Wow it was great to deal with @tapankunu as he assembled the Intel i5-4690K with Mobo Asus Z97 Deluxe on his system. Initially he encountered problems with the "intel management engine interface" and we got into lengthy conversations yesterday (on phone and whatsapp) to resolve these issues...... which ultimately got down to updating the BIOS .... however this turned out to be not so easy (see below)

Note: The Asus Z97 Deluxe motherboard was released with 3 variants for (US, India/Asia & rest of the world) and I did not have the original box with me! So how to resolve ?

As it turned out I was amazed at @tapankunu 's ingenuity & skills - he used a Bios Flash Tool first and then later successfully updated the BIOS for the correct variant of the motherboard.
I also learned later that it's his personal interest to do R&D on different gens of motherboards - which I was really impressed.

Glad to have made another new friend on @TechEnclave and getting to know him personally.

BIOS contains ME firmware.
ME firmware needs to be updated to support newer ME drivers by Intel. Some BIOS manufacturers do mention this in BIOS/driver updates. I remember Asus doing it.

Right you need matching BIOS and ME drivers. IME updates and corresponding updated ME driver come out together. If you are not updating BIOS to the latest version, you should install the older ME driver not the latest.

Doesn't IME driver checks during install if it is compatible with the existing bios version?

that particular model z97 deluxe don't have separate ME driver mentioned in bios versions in asus website and after flashing to the latest stable bios also didn't solve the issue. so i took the bios chip out of the mb, erased it and wrote the latest bios in it solved the issue.

Not everything has safety measures in place. It's easy to flash wrong BIOS/firmware and brick a device.
