Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Found an empty bench..
Why The Simpsons stopped producing Maude Flanders episodes?
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
“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.”
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?”
What was your most embarrassing and humiliating bare bottom spanking?
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And entered the park.

“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, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

I looked around me

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I was constantly staring into the ground
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
The batch sizes were huge!
.
Your credentials do not matter!
And..
Keep your ego aside.
And, I had not made it.
Dropped them
It lasted approximately 10 months.
It is almost impossible.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
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).
But, then it hit me hard.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
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.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
“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 write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
All achievers in their own way.
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 vividly remember that evening.
All the best!
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I did not go back to my home.
Anyway!
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
