I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Worked for a marketing agency
Is there anything wrong with me because I'm still single?
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I was constantly staring into the ground
“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).”

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Keep your ego aside.
All achievers in their own way.
But, then it hit me hard.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I vividly remember that evening.
What is the difference in doing a hot rail and just smoking a bowl?
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
All the best!
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I looked around me
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

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

The batch sizes were huge!
“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.”
“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.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I was alone in Delhi back then
And, I had not made it.
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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
It is almost impossible.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Dropped them
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Found an empty bench..
And..
Cleared multiple of them
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Searched for my roll number.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And entered the park.
I did not go back to my home.
