I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Dropped them
Found an empty bench..
The batch sizes were huge!
“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.”
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I was constantly staring into the ground
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.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Why do people who were very kind and loving once become cold-hearted?
It is almost impossible.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

“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 did not go back to my home.
Dolorem suscipit perferendis ea aut quo et ea.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
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.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
What is the sluttiest thing your wife has ever done?
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
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.
All achievers in their own way.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
“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, I had not made it.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Searched for my roll number.
Anyway!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I vividly remember that evening.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on 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.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Worked for a marketing agency
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
But, then it hit me hard.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I looked around me
And entered the park.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
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).
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…
.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Keep your ego aside.
All the best!
I was alone in Delhi back then
And..
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
