“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
“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).”
The batch sizes were huge!

It is almost impossible.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
But, then it hit me hard.
“All of these students are great from an academic point of view. They have always scored 90%+ during their school days, some have even scored 9.6 CGPA and above during their 10th boards.”
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
