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.
Anyway!
I vividly remember that evening.
Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?
Dropped them
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
“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).”
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

It is almost impossible.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
All the best!
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Worked for a marketing agency
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Keep your ego aside.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
What caused the decline of the Soprano crew?
Searched for my roll number.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I was constantly staring into the ground
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
.
I did not go back to my home.
Your credentials do not matter!
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I was alone in Delhi back then
“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
And entered the park.
The batch sizes were huge!
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
“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, then it hit me hard.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
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.
