I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
And entered the park.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
How do I separate the vocals of two different people speaking in a single channel?
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“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.”

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
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.

“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 alone in Delhi back then

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
But, then it hit me hard.
I was constantly staring into the ground
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
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.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
“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).”
The batch sizes were huge!
I looked around me
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
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).
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I vividly remember that evening.
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.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Cleared multiple of them
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Keep your ego aside.
It is almost impossible.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Anyway!
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I did not go back to my home.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And, I had not made it.
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.
Dropped them
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Your credentials do not matter!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
And..
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Found an empty bench..
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
