I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“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).”
“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.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And, I had not made it.
You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
The batch sizes were huge!
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
“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.”

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And..
I vividly remember that evening.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Dropped them
Anyway!
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).
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
