Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Found an empty bench..
Keep your ego aside.
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.

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 joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Anyway!
Were any US Generals hurt or killed yesterday in Damascus, Syria, yesterday 5/9/24?
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
All achievers in their own way.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..

It lasted approximately 10 months.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

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.
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).”

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
And entered the park.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
All the best!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
But, then it hit me hard.
I looked around me

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
The batch sizes were huge!
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And..
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I did not go back to my home.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I was constantly staring into the ground
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
And, I had not made it.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Worked for a marketing agency
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Dropped them
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
“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.”
Your credentials do not matter!
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.”
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
It is almost impossible.
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.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

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.
