Hello I was expecting marks/rank.
चिंता न करो ! सब का कटा है ! Everyone was expecting a rank list of sorts.
But if it means something, I am just glad to see thecompetitive spirit of everyonehere !
In hindsight, expecting rank and marks for questions like ,"what is your story" or "what can forumias do to be better" was actually a bit naïve. But yes, I was expecting to see the reviewed sheets at least. Comments are necessary to gauge whether the direction is right.
Anyway. Best of luck for AWFG. Lets be Consistent and improve with every answer that we write. Ranks and marks will take care of themselves.
When we do walk out of that exam hall on 18th of January at 5:00 PM, the feeling should be ,"I prepared well. I gave my all" instead of " काश थोड़ा और....."
Cheers :)
