This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
.
I did not go back to my home.
How does someone start doing urban exploration?
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And, I had not made it.

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

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.
And entered the park.
I vividly remember that evening.
I was constantly staring into the ground
It is almost impossible.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
What’s wrong with anti-imperialism?
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

“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.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Found an empty bench..
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
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.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
All achievers in their own way.
Searched for my roll number.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
“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.”
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
The batch sizes were huge!
Anyway!
“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.”
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
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 determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Your credentials do not matter!
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
