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 we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
The batch sizes were huge!

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And..
All achievers in their own way.
Do they have internet in hell? Most people on here seem like damned souls or demons.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
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.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

But, then it hit me hard.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
“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 was alone in Delhi back then
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

Your credentials do not matter!
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling 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.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
All the best!
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Anyway!
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
It is almost impossible.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And, I had not made it.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
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…

“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.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
