Keep your ego aside.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Just sitting at home with this huge cock. Who can take care of it for me?
It lasted approximately 10 months.
And, I had not made it.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

A sense of grief and toil had taken over 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).
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Have you ever witnessed political correctness harm someone?
Anyway!
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Quidem dolorum id soluta eius id maxime quas.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
All the best!
Why do a bra and panties have to match?
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling 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.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
“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.”
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I was constantly staring into the ground
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, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
“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).”
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.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
“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.”
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.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I vividly remember that evening.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
The batch sizes were huge!
Found an empty bench..
Cleared multiple of them
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
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..
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
But, then it hit me hard.
Worked for a marketing agency
And entered the park.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
It is almost impossible.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

Your credentials do not matter!
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I did not go back to my home.
