The batch sizes were huge!
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
What are some current examples of injustice?
All achievers in their own way.
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).
Is it ok to be spanked by your parents if you are not in bed in your set bedtime?
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Keep your ego aside.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

“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.”
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
What were the reasons for Stalin and Brezhnev's dislike of Khrushchev?
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

“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).”
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 an element of probability that no one can predict.

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…

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Your credentials do not matter!
I vividly remember that evening.
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.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I did not go back to my home.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
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)
It is almost impossible.
All the best!
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And entered the park.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I looked around me
Cleared multiple of them
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
