I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

I vividly remember that evening.

And, I had not made it.

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

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Worked for a marketing agency

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

“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).”

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

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.

And entered the park.

And..

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

Found an empty bench..

I was constantly staring into the ground

“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.”

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I was alone in Delhi back then

But, then it hit me hard.

Anyway!

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

I did not go back to my home.

Dropped them

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

I looked around me

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
