I was alone in Delhi back then
Anyway!

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Cleared multiple of them
Searched for my roll number.
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).
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

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.

The batch sizes were huge!
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
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.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

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.”
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
It is almost impossible.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I vividly remember that evening.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

“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).”
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
“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.”
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I did not go back to my home.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
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.
And, I had not made it.
Your credentials do not matter!

It lasted approximately 10 months.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And..
But, then it hit me hard.
All achievers in their own way.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I looked around me
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
