I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
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.
.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And entered the park.
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.

All achievers in their own way.

“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).”

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
“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.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

I was alone in Delhi back then
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).

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And, I had not made it.
I was constantly staring into the ground

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Dropped them
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
.
But, then it hit me hard.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I looked around me
I did not go back to my home.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Searched for my roll number.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Anyway!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
It is almost impossible.
Your credentials do not matter!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
The batch sizes were huge!
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I vividly remember that evening.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
“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.”
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
“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.”
Found an empty bench..
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…
