I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
All achievers in their own way.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Quae illo minus voluptatum fugiat ea quaerat qui.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Anyway!
Which type of physical cable has fastest transmission speed?
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I looked around me

Keep your ego aside.
I did not go back to my home.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
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…
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And, I had not made it.
It is almost impossible.
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).
Worked for a marketing agency
Have you ever had a bad gut feeling about someone and it was right?
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.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
The batch sizes were huge!

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Searched for my roll number.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
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.

“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.”
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
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, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
“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.”
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Dropped them
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I was constantly staring into the ground
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Your credentials do not matter!
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
And..
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
And entered the park.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
But, then it hit me hard.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Found an empty bench..
I vividly remember that evening.
“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).”
Cleared multiple of them
All the best!
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
