I was constantly staring into the ground
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And..
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

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).”
Your credentials do not matter!
The batch sizes were huge!
Keep your ego aside.
It is almost impossible.
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.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
And, I had not made it.
I did not go back to my home.
I vividly remember that evening.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

“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.”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Found an empty bench..
