I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
What isइस संसार में पहले भागवान आया की इंसान?
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
What are some signs he is deeply in love with you?
I vividly remember that evening.
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).
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I was alone in Delhi back then
And entered the park.
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.
Your credentials do not matter!
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
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.

I did not go back to my home.

“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).”

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Keep your ego aside.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
But, then it hit me hard.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
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 cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
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.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Searched for my roll number.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
The batch sizes were huge!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
All the best!

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I said, “Yes! I believe 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, 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.”
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
It is almost impossible.
