And entered the park.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Searched for my roll number.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Dropped them
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
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.
I looked around me
All achievers in their own way.
What 10 things have you stopped doing in your life?
Found an empty bench..
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
It is almost impossible.
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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
What’s something you’ve learned that you think everyone should know, but nobody talks about?
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
“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).”

And, I had not made it.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

I did not go back to my home.
“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!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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 was alone in Delhi back then
All the best!
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
“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.”
But, then it hit me hard.
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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I vividly remember that evening.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Anyway!
And..
“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.”
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
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).
Cleared multiple of them
