This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
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 vividly remember that evening.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

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

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
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).
.
I was constantly staring into the ground
But, then it hit me hard.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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 ..
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Keep your ego aside.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I looked around me
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
“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).”
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
And..
Cleared multiple of them
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.
Dropped them
It lasted approximately 10 months.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I did not go back to my home.
Found an empty bench..
