In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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.
What have you learned from your parents' mistakes?
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And entered the park.
Aut adipisci dolorum ut aliquam consequuntur quas.
And, I had not made 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.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
“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 had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

I was alone in Delhi back then
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I vividly remember that evening.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
All achievers in their own way.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Why am I so wanting to suck a penis?

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.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I did not go back to my home.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Anyway!
It lasted approximately 10 months.
“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.”
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
“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 was constantly staring into the ground
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Found an empty bench..
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
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.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Cleared multiple of them
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Your credentials do not matter!
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I looked around me
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.
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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Keep your ego aside.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
The batch sizes were huge!
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
It is almost impossible.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
