A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And..

So, yes, the UPSC is considered the toughest exam in the world because there is a ‘luck’ factor coupled with subjectivity in the exam process.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

“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.”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
