Each class used to be 2.5 hours each. Making it a total of 5 hours of coaching classes daily. The classes used to be 7 days a week.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
“I, too, was an aspirant, 20 years back. I have met board toppers, state board toppers, and college toppers with more than 9+ CGPA who prepare for this exam.”
