This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I vividly remember that evening.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

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.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

And..
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
It lasted approximately 10 months.
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…
“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.”
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
The batch sizes were huge!
My friend asked my crush and he said my crush hates me but not in a rude way. What does that mean?
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
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.
I was alone in Delhi back then

Keep your ego aside.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I looked around me
It is almost impossible.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Worked for a marketing agency
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
All the best!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I was constantly staring into the ground
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Found an empty bench..
“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).”
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).
Your credentials do not matter!
Dropped them
But, then it hit me hard.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Cleared multiple of them
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
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.
And, I had not made it.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
“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.”
All achievers in their own way.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And entered the park.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Anyway!
I did not go back to my home.
