After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.
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 batch sizes were huge!
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I looked around me
I was alone in Delhi back then

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
And, I had not made it.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was constantly staring into the ground
“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.”

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
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.

Your credentials do not matter!
Keep your ego aside.
“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, yes, the UPSC is considered the toughest exam in the world because there is a ‘luck’ factor coupled with subjectivity in the exam process.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
And..
“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).”
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I vividly remember that evening.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
It is almost impossible.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Dropped them
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
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 had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Found an empty bench..
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I did not go back to my home.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

But, then it hit me hard.
