And entered the park.

It is almost impossible.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

How is bestiality wrong, but killing animals for sport or trophies is considered okay?

Keep your ego aside.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

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

“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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Why do people keep saying they have evidence and have presented it that proves you're wrong even though they have none and haven't presented anything? Furthermore, what do they think you're wrong about?

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

The batch sizes were huge!

“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.”

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

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.

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.

Quis in et et repellendus.

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

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

Dropped them

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

I was constantly staring into the ground

What does it mean when someone leaves something in your house, your room to be exact, and when you tell them, they say they left it there on purpose?

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.

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, 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.”

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

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 write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I looked around me

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

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

Worked for a marketing agency

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And, I had not made it.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

Your credentials do not matter!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I vividly remember that evening.

I did not go back to my home.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Searched for my roll number.

I was alone in Delhi back then

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
