And, I had not made it.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

It is almost impossible.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And..
“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.”
How about learn C sharp at 2024?
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
All achievers in their own way.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
“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.”
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).
Do you feel uncomfortable when you come across cross dressers?
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

But, then it hit me hard.
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.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Found an empty bench..
How do you feel about the singer Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala Harris for president?
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I did not go back to my home.
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.
Is it sinful for Christians to look at beautiful women?
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I vividly remember that evening.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
The batch sizes were huge!
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.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Keep your ego aside.
I was alone in Delhi back then

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
All the best!
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 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?
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
“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).”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Anyway!
