“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And..
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Your credentials do not matter!

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I looked around me
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Anyway!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I vividly remember that evening.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear 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).
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
It is almost impossible.
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 was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
“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, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
“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.”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
All the best!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
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.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
And, I had not made it.
And entered the park.
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…

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I did not go back to my home.
“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).”
But, then it hit me hard.
Found an empty bench..
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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.
Dropped them
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
