I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

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 gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

I vividly remember that evening.

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.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
And entered the park.
All achievers in their own way.
The batch sizes were huge!
Anyway!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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…
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Found an empty bench..
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I did not go back to my home.
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).
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
“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).”
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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, 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.”
Cleared multiple of them
“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, I had not made it.
