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

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.
I vividly remember that evening.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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…
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).
The batch sizes were huge!
“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.”
What thing happened to you as a child that you haven’t let go of to this day?
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I looked around me

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Anyway!
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.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
It lasted approximately 10 months.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Your credentials do not matter!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
All achievers in their own way.
I was alone in Delhi back then
“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.”
Cleared multiple of them

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Keep your ego aside.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
It is almost impossible.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
And..
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
But, then it hit me hard.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Found an empty bench..
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.

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
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.
“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).”
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
.
And, I had not made it.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I did not go back to my home.
I was constantly staring into the ground
