A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

“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).”
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back 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.

The batch sizes were huge!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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.

All the best!
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
But, then it hit me hard.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I vividly remember that evening.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
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.
It is almost impossible.
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.”
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 entered the park.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Anyway!
Cleared multiple of them
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
