“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.”
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
But, then it hit me hard.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

Keep your ego aside.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I did not go back to my home.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

I was constantly staring into the ground
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
