Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
All achievers in their own way.
The batch sizes were huge!

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
And..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Keep your ego aside.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Anyway!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
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.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
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.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

“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, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

“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 entered the park.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Dropped them
I did not go back to my home.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I looked around me
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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…
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Searched for my roll number.
Cleared multiple of them
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.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
But, then it hit me hard.
Found an empty bench..
“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).”
I vividly remember that evening.
And, I had not made it.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
All the best!
