And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

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, 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, 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.”

“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?”

The batch sizes were huge!

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

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

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

“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.”

Cleared multiple of them

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

And entered the park.

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

I was constantly staring into the ground

Dropped them

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.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

I did not go back to my home.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

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

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

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.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

Keep your ego aside.

And, I had not made it.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Anyway!

It lasted approximately 10 months.
