Anyway!
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
“I, too, was an aspirant, 20 years back. I have met board toppers, state board toppers, and college toppers with more than 9+ CGPA who prepare for this exam.”
“But, it is nearly impossible for one to predict who will make it to the ‘holy list’. Yes! I can say that if an aspirant who has done X, Y, and Z can increase their chances of selection, but it is just not enough. There is always a matter of luck (or, probability).”

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

And..
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
The batch sizes were huge!
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
500 students in each batch. God forbid if you were late to the class - you would have to push your way through the seats. (Old aspirants reading this know which institute I am talking about).
It lasted approximately 10 months.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And entered the park.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Each class used to be 2.5 hours each. Making it a total of 5 hours of coaching classes daily. The classes used to be 7 days a week.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
