In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I vividly remember that evening.
.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Anyway!
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
But, then it hit me hard.
I did not go back to my home.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I looked around me
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 joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
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.

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.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
All achievers in their own way.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
The batch sizes were huge!
Dropped them
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
What do all Indian parents have in common?
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).
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I was constantly staring into the ground

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

I was alone in Delhi back then
And..
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
It is almost impossible.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And entered the park.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
“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 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.”
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
“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).”
Found an empty bench..
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
All the best!
