It lasted approximately 10 months.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And..
Is the 4B movement's aggressiveness against men for seeing women as mantelpieces valid?
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
All the best!
It is almost impossible.

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).
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

Found an empty bench..
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I was constantly staring into the ground

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.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

I did not go back to my home.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
“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).”

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
“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.”

Searched for my roll number.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
And, I had not made it.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Anyway!
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I vividly remember that evening.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I looked around me
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Keep your ego aside.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I was alone in Delhi back then
But, then it hit me hard.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
“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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
All achievers in their own way.
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.
