All the best!
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I was alone in Delhi back then
Why do some people have sex with dogs?
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
What is an easy way to get your driver's license?
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I was constantly staring into the ground
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).
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.
Anyway!
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
If it weren't for your ult, which group would be your ult?
“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).”
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
It lasted approximately 10 months.

I looked around me
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

“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.”

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Found an empty bench..
Worked for a marketing agency
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
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…
And entered the park.
I did not go back to my home.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

The batch sizes were huge!
It is almost impossible.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
And, I had not made it.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Dropped them
I vividly remember that evening.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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.
Searched for my roll number.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
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.
Keep your ego aside.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
“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.”
Cleared multiple of them
.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
But, then it hit me hard.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
All achievers in their own way.
