“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).”

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Worked for a marketing agency
The batch sizes were huge!

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
It is almost impossible.
