Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
It is almost impossible.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
“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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I vividly remember that evening.
Worked for a marketing agency
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
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.
Your credentials do not matter!
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

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 did not go back to my home.
And, I had not made it.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
“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.”
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…
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
But, then it hit me hard.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
The batch sizes were huge!
Searched for my roll number.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Dropped them
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.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
