Cleared multiple of 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.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I was alone in Delhi back then
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
All achievers in their own way.
What was your most embarrassing wardrobe malfunction in public?
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
What has been your best sexual experience?
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
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.
I looked around me
My ex got into a relationship within 2 weeks after a breakup. What should I do?
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Anyway!
“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 was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Don't you think Israel is and always has been the biggest obstacle to peace in the Middle East?
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Dropped them
All the best!
And..
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Can being annoyed be a sign of getting angry?
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I vividly remember that evening.
It is almost impossible.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Searched for my roll number.
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.
Worked for a marketing agency
I did not go back to my home.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
“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.”
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
The batch sizes were huge!
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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…
Found an empty bench..
And, I had not made it.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Keep your ego aside.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
“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.”
Your credentials do not matter!
.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
But, then it hit me hard.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I was constantly staring into the ground
And entered the park.
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).
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
