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

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

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

And entered the park.

The batch sizes were huge!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Keep your ego aside.

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