The batch sizes were huge!

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

I vividly remember that evening.

“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).”
