But, then it hit me hard.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And entered the park.
I looked around me
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
All the best!
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
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 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.”
Keep your ego aside.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
It is almost impossible.

“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).”
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

All achievers in their own way.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I did not go back to my home.
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…
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I vividly remember that evening.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
“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.”
I was alone in Delhi back then
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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And..
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Searched for my roll number.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
And, I had not made it.
The batch sizes were huge!
Your credentials do not matter!
Anyway!
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Cleared multiple of them
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 joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
