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.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

I was alone in Delhi back then
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
It is almost impossible.
Cleared multiple of them
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.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I vividly remember that evening.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
What is your best forbidden sex story that felt so right?
“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.”

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.”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

Found an empty bench..
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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.

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And..
Searched for my roll number.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
“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).”
Anyway!
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Keep your ego aside.
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…

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).
Dropped them
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I looked around me
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
“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.”
I did not go back to my home.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
