I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“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.”
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

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.
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).
And, I had not made it.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I looked around me
What are the strangest parts of The Bible?
I was constantly staring into the ground
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
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.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I did not go back to my home.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
But, then it hit me hard.
I vividly remember that evening.
And..
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
“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.”

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

“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.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
It is almost impossible.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
