There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Anyway!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
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, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
“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, I had not made it.
I looked around me
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I vividly remember that evening.
“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.”

The batch sizes were huge!
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I was alone in Delhi back then
All the best!
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And..
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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Searched for my roll number.
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).
Dropped them
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Found an empty bench..
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
“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).”

Keep your ego aside.
It is almost impossible.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
