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).
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

“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.”
Anyway!

“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).”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I vividly remember that evening.
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 looked around me
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
