Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I was alone in Delhi back then
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

I looked around me

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I did not go back to my home.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
The batch sizes were huge!
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
“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.”

Anyway!
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Cleared multiple of them
Searched for my roll number.
I vividly remember that evening.
All the best!
Dropped them
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Your credentials do not matter!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Found an empty bench..
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
It is almost impossible.
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).
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.
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.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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
All achievers in their own way.
.
And..
It lasted approximately 10 months.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And, I had not made it.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
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.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
“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).”
