“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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Your credentials do not matter!
I was alone in Delhi back then
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
“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.”

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Keep your ego aside.
I looked around me
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
But, then it hit me hard.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
All achievers in their own way.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
