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).
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
But, then it hit me hard.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
It lasted approximately 10 months.

Anyway!
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
All achievers in their own way.
Found an empty bench..
The batch sizes were huge!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Which is the best AI app for house plan making?
Searched for my roll number.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Dropped them
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
“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
I vividly remember that evening.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
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.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
“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).”
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
All the best!
Cleared multiple of them
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
And..
And entered the park.
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.
It is almost impossible.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

Your credentials do not matter!
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.
Keep your ego aside.
