I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
The batch sizes were huge!
All the best!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

I did not go back to my home.
And..
I was alone in Delhi back then

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Searched for my roll number.
How do I deal with my annoying little kids?
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.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Keep your ego aside.
It is almost impossible.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
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, I had not made it.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I was constantly staring into the ground
“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.”

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.
But, then it hit me hard.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And entered the park.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
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).
Anyway!
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
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, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
“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 lasted approximately 10 months.

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.”
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
All achievers in their own way.
I vividly remember that evening.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
