Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And entered the park.
Can you share some of your favorite jokes that are not well-known but always make people laugh?
The batch sizes were huge!
I vividly remember that evening.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

Keep your ego aside.

Dropped them
I did not go back to my home.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Who was most disrespectful today, Zelensky, Trump, or Vance? Give examples.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Searched for my roll number.
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 ..
Found an empty bench..
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

All the best!

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
What are your top ten favorite K-pop albums?
I was alone in Delhi back then
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…

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Worked for a marketing agency
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).
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.
.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
But, then it hit me hard.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
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 is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I looked around me
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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.”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

And..
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!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
“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.”
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
All achievers in their own way.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And, I had not made it.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
“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).”
It is almost impossible.
