The batch sizes were huge!
“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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

I looked around me
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I was constantly staring into the ground
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
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).
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
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.
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.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I vividly remember that evening.
“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 was alone in Delhi back then
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

And, I had not made it.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Your credentials do not matter!
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…
Cleared multiple of them
Anyway!
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Found an empty bench..
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
