Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I looked around me
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Cleared multiple of them
Anyway!
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I was alone in Delhi back then
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
And, I had not made it.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

“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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

It lasted approximately 10 months.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
“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.”
The batch sizes were huge!
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I vividly remember that evening.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
But, then it hit me hard.
I did not go back to my home.
And entered the park.
Searched for my roll number.
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?”
Worked for a marketing agency
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Your credentials do not matter!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“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.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
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.
Dropped them

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
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).
