All achievers in their own way.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I was alone in Delhi back then
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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 did not go back to my home.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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…
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

It is almost impossible.
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.

Anyway!
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
What was your first experience like with a black man?
The batch sizes were huge!
“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.”
Dropped them
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
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).
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.
But, then it hit me hard.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I looked around me
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I vividly remember that evening.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Searched for my roll number.
“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).”
Your credentials do not matter!
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
“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 entered the park.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
