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

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).

Anyway!

Can you describe your experience taking the AIPMT/NEET entrance exam? Did you feel nervous or afraid while entering the examination hall and writing the exam?

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

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

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

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

Found an empty bench..
