I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Iusto et ipsum nesciunt est qui.
Searched for my roll number.
It is almost impossible.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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.
And..
Can I see some saggy tit pics and huge areolas pics?
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

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

“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).”
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
All achievers in their own way.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

Dropped them
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I vividly remember that evening.

I looked around me
“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.”
The batch sizes were huge!
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And entered the park.
“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, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
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, I had not made it.
I was constantly staring into the ground

Keep your ego aside.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
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, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
.
I did not go back to my home.
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).
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.
