And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I looked around me
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

And..
Anyway!
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.
The batch sizes were huge!
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
All the best!
Dropped them
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

I vividly remember that evening.
Searched for my roll number.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

“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.”
All achievers in their own way.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And, I had not made it.
You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was constantly staring into the ground

Dare you, peep in your neighbour's notebook. After all, it is a national-level competitive exam - people tend to be extremely competitive. Tough days…
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
But, then it hit me hard.
Keep your ego aside.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
“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).”
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
500 students in each batch. God forbid if you were late to the class - you would have to push your way through the seats. (Old aspirants reading this know which institute I am talking about).
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
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.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
“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.”
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
