And entered the park.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Keep your ego aside.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I vividly remember that evening.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
It is almost impossible.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
All achievers in their own way.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
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.
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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Searched for my roll number.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Anyway!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Democrats be honest, how many of you were wishing that Musk rescue space flight blew up?
I looked around me
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Your credentials do not matter!

It lasted approximately 10 months.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
“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).”
Found an empty bench..
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
“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.”
All the best!
And, I had not made it.
The batch sizes were huge!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
“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 alone in Delhi back then
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
But, then it hit me hard.
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…
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.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I did not go back to my home.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Dropped 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).
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!
