And, I had not made it.
I was constantly staring into the ground
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Why do females hate MGTOW so much?
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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.
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 joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
What do you think of casting Emma Watson as the next James Bond?
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
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).
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

But, then it hit me hard.

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.
The batch sizes were huge!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I looked around me
All the best!
.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Cleared multiple of them
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
And..
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
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.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
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.”
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
It is almost impossible.
Anyway!
“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).”
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Dropped them
And entered the park.
Your credentials do not matter!
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
