All achievers in their own way.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
“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.”
Andrew Tate or Nas Daily, who do you prefer more?
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I was alone in Delhi back then
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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
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.
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…
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
“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.”

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
But, then it hit me hard.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Searched for my roll number.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And entered the park.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I was constantly staring into the ground
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
The batch sizes were huge!
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
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.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And..
“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).”
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I vividly remember that evening.
And, I had not made it.
I did not go back to my home.
