Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

Anyway!
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
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.

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.
Cleared multiple of them
Keep your ego aside.
I vividly remember that evening.
I looked around me
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

But, then it hit me hard.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
“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.”
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, 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.”
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
All the best!
I did not go back to my home.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And..
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Searched for my roll number.
Dropped them
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Found an empty bench..
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
And, I had not made it.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
“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).”
The batch sizes were huge!
I was constantly staring into the ground
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And entered the park.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
.
All achievers in their own way.
It is almost impossible.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

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.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
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…
Your credentials do not matter!
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
