In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
The batch sizes were huge!
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I vividly remember that evening.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
What are scads fish? What types are there?
.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

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.

“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.”
It is almost impossible.
Keep your ego aside.
How did you get to be a leftist?
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And entered the park.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
And, I had not made it.

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.
But, then it hit me hard.

I looked around me
What are the cities in England, UK that have trams?
I was alone in Delhi back then
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
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.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
“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).”
Searched for my roll number.
Dropped them
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
All achievers in their own way.
Anyway!
Your credentials do not matter!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
