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

The batch sizes were huge!

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

Dropped them

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

Keep your ego aside.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

And, I had not made it.

I was constantly staring into the ground

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

All achievers in their own way.

All the best!

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

Searched for my roll number.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

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).”

“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.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

And..

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.

Your credentials do not matter!

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).

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

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…

I vividly remember that evening.

It lasted approximately 10 months.
