I was alone in Delhi back then
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
“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.”
Has anyone tried Deepseek V3? Does it work?
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
All achievers in their own way.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Your credentials do not matter!
How is it that a computer can generate a captcha but not solve it?
And..
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And, I had not made it.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
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).
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
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?”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
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).”

But, then it hit me hard.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

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.

The batch sizes were huge!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
It is almost impossible.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I vividly remember that evening.
Quidem dolorum id soluta eius id maxime quas.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
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…
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Worked for a marketing agency
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Quia qui rem laborum itaque vel.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
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.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for 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.
Found an empty bench..
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I looked around me
Searched for my roll number.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
All the best!
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Anyway!
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I was constantly staring into the ground
And entered the park.
I did not go back to my home.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
“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.”
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
