Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Have you ever regretted not hitting on a older women?
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
All achievers in their own way.
It is almost impossible.
But, then it hit me hard.
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 was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

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

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I vividly remember that evening.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
What are some great short jokes?
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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…

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
The batch sizes were huge!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

“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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
And, I had not made it.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
“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.”
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.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Dropped them
Anyway!
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.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Your credentials do not matter!
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

It lasted approximately 10 months.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Found an empty bench..
I did not go back to my home.
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).
And entered the park.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
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.
