This exam has its own way of humbling you.
But, then it hit me hard.

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

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
How do you confront your own family for not inviting you or leaving you out of things?
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

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

“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.”
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Eum sit quibusdam aperiam culpa ipsa culpa odio.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I vividly remember that evening.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And entered the park.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

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).
It lasted approximately 10 months.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I was alone in Delhi back then
The batch sizes were huge!
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Sapiente nemo autem perspiciatis.
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!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
“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.”
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.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
“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).”
I did not go back to my home.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
All achievers in their own way.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Cleared multiple of them
And, I had not made it.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Anyway!
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
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.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I looked around me
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Keep your ego aside.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
