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.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
How good is the Optimum Nutrition whey protein?
I looked around me
“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.”
And entered the park.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

But, then it hit me hard.
All the best!
I did not go back to my home.

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

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Cleared multiple of them

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I vividly remember that evening.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
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.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Searched for my roll number.
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, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
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).
Worked for a marketing agency
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
The batch sizes were huge!
I was alone in Delhi back then
I was constantly staring into the ground
Dropped them
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
.
And..
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
It is almost impossible.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
And, I had not made it.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Your credentials do not matter!
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
“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.”
