Anyway!
And, I had not made it.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

“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).”
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

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.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
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.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

And..

I looked around me
“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.”
But, then it hit me hard.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Cleared multiple of them
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
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.
Keep your ego aside.
All the best!
I was constantly staring into the ground
.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And entered the park.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
All achievers in their own way.
“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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
The batch sizes were huge!
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
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, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
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 vividly remember that evening.
