Dropped them
I was alone in Delhi back then
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
And entered the park.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Keep your ego aside.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
.
“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.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

And, I had not made it.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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…
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, 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.”
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).
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
“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 joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

But, then it hit me hard.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Found an empty bench..
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Anyway!
I did not go back to my home.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And..
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
It is almost impossible.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
The batch sizes were huge!
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I looked around me
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
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 the best!
I was constantly staring into the ground
