I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
But, then it hit me hard.
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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Anyway!

Searched for my roll number.
Your credentials do not matter!
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
What will help me to get a bigger butt naturally?
Dropped them
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was alone in Delhi back then
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

The batch sizes were huge!
“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.”

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
What is the most offensive thing someone has ever asked you?
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
And..
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
All achievers in their own way.
Worked for a marketing agency
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Keep your ego aside.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
All the best!
And entered the park.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
.
And, I had not made it.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was constantly staring into the ground
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I looked around me
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I vividly remember that evening.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
“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).”
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
.
Found an empty bench..
Cleared multiple of them
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).
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I did not go back to my home.
