I vividly remember that evening.
All the best!
.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Searched for my roll number.

The batch sizes were huge!
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
And entered the park.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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

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…
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I did not go back to my home.
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.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Anyway!

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
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.
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).
Cleared multiple of them
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
All achievers in their own way.
Found an empty bench..
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Your credentials do not matter!
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Worked for a marketing agency
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
And, I had not made it.
I looked around me
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
“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).”
I was constantly staring into the ground
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
“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.”
And..
But, then it hit me hard.
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.
It is almost impossible.
