“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.”

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

It is almost impossible.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

“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).”

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

All the best!

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Searched for my roll number.

“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 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 -

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

And entered the park.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I was alone in Delhi back then

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

“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.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Keep your ego aside.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
