I was constantly staring into the ground
All the best!
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Is it true that most Indian men are gay and they just hide their feelings?
“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.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

“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 vividly remember that evening.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Dropped them
Your credentials do not matter!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Keep your ego aside.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Why did my ex-narcissist move so fast with his new supply marriage engagement moving in, etc.?
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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.
But, then it hit me hard.
And, I had not made it.
I did not go back to my home.
“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.”

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Worked for a marketing agency
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Anyway!
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I looked around me
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
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 is almost impossible.
“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.”
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Cleared multiple of them
The batch sizes were huge!
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).
It lasted approximately 10 months.
And..
Searched for my roll number.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Found an empty bench..
