Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

Your credentials do not matter!
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
“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.”
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.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Why do narcissists avoid talking about the real issues?
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
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…
All the best!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Searched for my roll number.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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).

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

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And entered the park.
What are some reasons why people may fear strong men?
“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).”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Why do some people enjoy being dominated?
I did not go back to my home.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Anyway!
And, I had not made it.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Found an empty bench..
A sense of grief and toil had taken over 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.
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.
All achievers in their own way.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
It is almost impossible.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
