Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

“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.”

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

“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).”
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
It is almost impossible.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I vividly remember that evening.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I was constantly staring into the ground

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
But, then it hit me hard.

“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.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I looked around me
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.
Keep your ego aside.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
“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.”
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Cleared multiple of them
Dropped them
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
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!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Searched for my roll number.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
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.
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…
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I did not go back to my home.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Found an empty bench..
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
All the best!
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Your credentials do not matter!
Anyway!
