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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

“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.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

The batch sizes were huge!

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

And entered the park.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

I did not go back to my home.

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

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

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).

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

Your credentials do not matter!

“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.”
