I did not go back to my home.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Do married men like sucking dick?
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
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.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

The batch sizes were huge!
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Worked for a marketing agency
Found an empty bench..
And..
.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Keep your ego aside.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I was alone in Delhi back then

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
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).
All achievers in their own way.

“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.”
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
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…

It is almost impossible.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
“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.”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
For what reasons would lawyers hesitate to use a legal AI product?
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Cleared multiple of them
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Your credentials do not matter!
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
“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).”
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Anyway!
And, I had not made it.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Dropped them
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I looked around me
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
All the best!
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I vividly remember that evening.
But, then it hit me hard.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Searched for my roll number.
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.
And entered the park.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
