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.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Qui omnis et eius rerum et dignissimos vel.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
“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..
Dropped them
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Anyway!
And entered the park.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Your credentials do not matter!
Cleared multiple of them
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I looked around me
I vividly remember that evening.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
And, I had not made it.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
But, then it hit me hard.
I was constantly staring into the ground
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
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 -
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…
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).
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was alone in Delhi back then
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
The batch sizes were huge!
All the best!
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
All achievers in their own way.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
It is almost impossible.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
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.
