My blog is new. I need 10 article posts for my blog. How much should I pay for it?
The batch sizes were huge!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

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.
All the best!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
What kind of book did you write after turning 55?
“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).”

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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
But, then it hit me hard.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Anyway!
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).
