A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

But, then it hit me hard.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
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).

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
“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).”

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
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.
Your credentials do not matter!
Nemo cumque quis qui velit unde nihil.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
All achievers in their own way.
The batch sizes were huge!
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
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.
“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 vividly remember that evening.
Cleared multiple of them
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
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.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
It is almost impossible.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
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…
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
And, I had not made it.
Searched for my roll number.
“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 did not go back to my home.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I looked around me
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
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.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
