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.

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I looked around me
What have I done wrong? How can I start over?
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Why did you put a guy’s dick in your mouth the first time?
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
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 vividly remember that evening.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

And entered the park.
“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).”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Are you more of a butt guy or a boob guy?
Searched for my roll number.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Cleared multiple of them
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
.
But, then it hit me hard.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
“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.”
Dropped them
Found an empty bench..
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for 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…
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Worked for a marketing agency
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I did not go back to my home.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Anyway!
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And..
It is almost impossible.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I was constantly staring into the ground
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
All achievers in their own way.
The batch sizes were huge!
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
“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.”
I was alone in Delhi back then
