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.
The batch sizes were huge!
I was alone in Delhi back then
When British people write X after everything, are they being serious or trying not to be awkward?
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

And entered the park.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
What transforms the philosophical intellect?
Anyway!
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And..
Consequatur corporis quos perspiciatis tenetur vel totam.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Dropped them
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.

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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

And, I had not made it.

Worked for a marketing agency
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
It is almost impossible.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I vividly remember that evening.
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…
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
“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).”
All the best!
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Your credentials do not matter!
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I did not go back to my home.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
.
All achievers in their own way.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Cleared multiple of them
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
.
“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.
Keep your ego aside.
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.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
