The batch sizes were huge!
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
How would you feel if your girlfriend had dick pics on her phone?
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
All achievers in their own way.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Do you wear tights for warmth or to make your legs look better?
I was constantly staring into the ground
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 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.”
Why do Democrats call any Republican "Magats", like they are subhuman?
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And entered the park.
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…
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I looked around me
Dropped them
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Keep your ego aside.
Did Obito ever fully redeem himself in everyone's eyes?
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Why do men think all women are the same?
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
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).
Anyway!
Found an empty bench..
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
What to know about the 2025 U.S. Open, from tee times to TV schedule - The Washington Post
And..
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
It is almost impossible.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Why do ugly men flirt with girls that are really hot?
But, then it hit me hard.
Cleared multiple of them
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Why do some straight men enjoy wearing women's lingerie?
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I was alone in Delhi back then
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“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).”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
“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.”
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Your credentials do not matter!
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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.
And, I had not made it.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I vividly remember that evening.
Searched for my roll number.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
All the best!
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I did not go back to my home.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
