But, then it hit me hard.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I vividly remember that evening.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Anyway!
All achievers in their own way.
Worked for a marketing agency
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
“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.”
It is almost impossible.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
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).
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
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 go back to my home.

“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).”
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!
Dropped them
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Searched for my roll number.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

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.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

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 looked around me
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Do you like Melania Trump's new official 1st lady black & white power portrait?
The batch sizes were huge!
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
“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.”
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
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.
All the best!
Keep your ego aside.
.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was constantly staring into the ground
And, I had not made it.
Your credentials do not matter!
And entered the park.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I was alone in Delhi back then
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Found an empty bench..
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

It lasted approximately 10 months.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
