All the best!
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.
Have your parents ever walked in on you?
But, then it hit me hard.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Why do boobs of some girls bounce when they walk?
I vividly remember that evening.
I looked around me
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
“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.”
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Anyway!
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.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
“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).”
Cleared multiple of them
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
And, I had not made it.
Found an empty bench..
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And..
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
.
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).
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Worked for a marketing agency
The batch sizes were huge!
It is almost impossible.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Keep your ego aside.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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?”
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.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Searched for my roll number.
