I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Searched for my roll number.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
And entered the park.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Found an empty bench..
I did not go back to my home.
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.
How did you respond to, "Why do you love me"?

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I was constantly staring into the ground
“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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
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, 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.”
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
All achievers in their own way.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
“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).”
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).
And, I had not made it.
But, then it hit me hard.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
.
It is almost impossible.
I looked around me
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Your credentials do not matter!
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!
Cleared multiple of them
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
