Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
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…
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Do you think this Labour Party is qualified to run our country?
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Searched for my roll number.

Your credentials do not matter!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

“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 was constantly staring into the ground
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

I looked around me
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.
Anyway!
What can anal toys bring to straight men?
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I vividly remember that evening.
Can shaving hair by Veet in our vagina cause diseases?
But, then it hit me hard.
And, I had not made it.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
It is almost impossible.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Keep your ego aside.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
How do flat earthers explain the Earth being stationary? Is this concept considered impossible?
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Found an empty bench..
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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

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).”
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.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Cleared multiple of them
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
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.
Worked for a marketing agency
It lasted approximately 10 months.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I did not go back to my home.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
All achievers in their own way.
And entered the park.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
All the best!
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
