I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Worked for a marketing agency
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

I vividly remember that evening.
I was constantly staring into the ground

Anyway!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

Dropped them

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
“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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
All achievers in their own way.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Are there girls here who like group sex?
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
It is almost impossible.

“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).”
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 looked around me
And, I had not made it.
But, then it hit me hard.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
.
All the best!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for 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 write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
“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 did not go back to my home.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Keep your ego aside.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Searched for my roll number.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
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).
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And..
Found an empty bench..
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
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.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
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 had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
