This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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.

Dropped them
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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

“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 looked around me
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
