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

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
It is almost impossible.

I did not go back to my home.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
All achievers in their own way.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I vividly remember that evening.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Your credentials do not matter!
And..
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
The batch sizes were huge!
“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 -
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Why is my ex trying to provoke an argument with me?
Found an empty bench..
“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.”
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.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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.
Worked for a marketing agency
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
.
And, I had not made it.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
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.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Why does a straight man like anal penetration?
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
But, then it hit me hard.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
“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).”
Keep your ego aside.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
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.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Dropped them
And entered the park.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
“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.”
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
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 looked around me
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
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.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
