Keep your ego aside.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
And entered the park.
Can a mother forget her child after she puts him or her up for adoption?
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 looked around me
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Searched for my roll number.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

“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.”
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And..

And, I had not made it.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Anyway!
I was constantly staring into the ground
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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).

Cleared multiple of them
Dropped them
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
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.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
“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.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
All achievers in their own way.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Found an empty bench..
“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.”

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
The batch sizes were huge!
It lasted approximately 10 months.
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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
But, then it hit me hard.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I vividly remember that evening.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
