This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
And, I had not made it.

It is almost impossible.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
“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.”
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
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
“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 was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I did not go back to my home.

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.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

How can she get her mouth taped shut? She should not have freedom of speech.
Your credentials do not matter!
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
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 looked around me
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Keep your ego aside.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Anyway!
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Dropped them
“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 was constantly staring into the ground
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
