A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
“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.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
All the best!
It lasted approximately 10 months.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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 had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

But, then it hit me hard.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

And..
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
“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.”
Why do I feel worthless most of the time?
“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).”
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I was alone in Delhi back then
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I looked around me
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Found an empty bench..
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
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 its own way of humbling you.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
The batch sizes were huge!
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
