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.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I was constantly staring into the ground
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Why does it matter so much to atheists that God doesn't exist?
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
All the best!
I vividly remember that evening.
It is almost impossible.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

“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).”
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
All achievers in their own way.
And, I had not made it.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
“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.”
Dropped them
What is your most intimate experience with your best friend?
I looked around me
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Keep your ego aside.

And entered the park.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I was alone in Delhi back then
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
But, then it hit me hard.
“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.”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Cleared multiple of them
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And..
Worked for a marketing agency
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
.
Anyway!
.
Searched for my roll number.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Found an empty bench..
Your credentials do not matter!
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
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.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
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 joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
