It lasted approximately 10 months.
It is almost impossible.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

“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.”
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
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.
“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).”

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Keep your ego aside.
And..
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
The batch sizes were huge!
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Dropped them
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Where can I find BPO projects?
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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…
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

Searched for my roll number.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
“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.”
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
All the best!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
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.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
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).
And entered the park.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
All achievers in their own way.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
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.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Anyway!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
