A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Searched for my roll number.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

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 did not go back to my home.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

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.

“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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And, I had not made it.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

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.
