I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Keep your ego aside.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

And, I had not made it.

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.
I was constantly staring into the ground
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

All achievers in their own way.
Your credentials do not matter!
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Some men love anal sex more than vaginal sex. Why?
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I vividly remember that evening.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And..
Worked for a marketing agency
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).
“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.”
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 was alone in Delhi back then
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
“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.”
Searched for my roll number.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Found an empty bench..
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
But, then it hit me hard.
I did not go back to my home.
I looked around me
Dropped them
Anyway!
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
All the best!
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
“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).”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
The batch sizes were huge!
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
