The batch sizes were huge!
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…
And..
How do I become an intelligent man?
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
But, then it hit me hard.

I looked around me
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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 did not go back to my home.
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).
Are there any industries or sectors where ChatGPT is particularly well-suited for implementation?

All achievers in their own way.
Anyway!
Keep your ego aside.
I was alone in Delhi back then
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
How did the Nazis figure out whether a person or community is 'Aryan' or not?
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.
All the best!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Dropped them
“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.”
Molestiae omnis voluptatem sed assumenda et.
And entered the park.
Your credentials do not matter!
“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.”

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
It is almost impossible.
“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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
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.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I vividly remember that evening.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Cleared multiple of them
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Searched for my roll number.
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.
Found an empty bench..
And, I had not made it.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
