This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
All the best!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I did not go back to my home.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

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.

It lasted approximately 10 months.
And, I had not made it.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Dropped them
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Searched for my roll number.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
.
I looked around me
“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).”
Worked for a marketing agency
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I vividly remember that evening.
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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
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).
I was alone in Delhi back then
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.
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.
It is almost impossible.
“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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
