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.

But, then it hit me hard.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Which actor/actress appears to be in pain while acting? Is this due to their method acting or their lack of skill as an actor?

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

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Your credentials do not matter!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

It is almost impossible.

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

Cleared multiple of them

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

I was constantly staring into the ground

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

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.

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

And..

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Searched for my roll number.

Found an empty bench..

The batch sizes were huge!

“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.”

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

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

Dare you, peep in your neighbour's notebook. After all, it is a national-level competitive exam - people tend to be extremely competitive. Tough days…

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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