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.
“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 looked around me
Dropped them
Keep your ego aside.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
“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).”
Searched for my roll number.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And, I had not made it.

Cleared multiple of them
“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.”
Anyway!
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

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 vividly remember that evening.
What is your juiciest sex story?
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
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.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
All achievers in their own way.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
The batch sizes were huge!
Do you remember one day, you put a deep smile on someone's face and made them very happy?
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

Your credentials do not matter!
Are there any nude pictures of women with big tits?
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
It is almost impossible.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
But, then it hit me hard.
I did not go back to my home.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And..
.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Worked for a marketing agency
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
All the best!
It lasted approximately 10 months.
And entered the park.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
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 was constantly staring into the ground
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Found an empty bench..
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).
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
