I vividly remember that evening.

And, I had not made it.

“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, yes, the UPSC is considered the toughest exam in the world because there is a ‘luck’ factor coupled with subjectivity in the exam process.
And..
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

All the best!
I was constantly staring into the ground
Dropped them
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
What life lesson did you learn the hard way?
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
The batch sizes were huge!
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Your credentials do not matter!
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I looked around me
Keep your ego aside.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
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).
It lasted approximately 10 months.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Searched for my roll number.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I did not go back to my home.
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.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

But, then it hit me hard.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
