Dropped them
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Anyway!
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I did not go back to my home.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

I was constantly staring into the ground
Your credentials do not matter!
I was alone in Delhi back then
What are some current examples of injustice?
I vividly remember that evening.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
“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).”

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
The batch sizes were huge!

But, then it hit me hard.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And, I had not made it.
Why do I keep waking up at 4 AM?
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And..
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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.
“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 cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
.
I looked around me
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Found an empty bench..
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).
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Cleared multiple of them
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
And entered the park.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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.
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…
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
It is almost impossible.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Keep your ego aside.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
“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.”
All the best!
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
All achievers in their own way.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Searched for my roll number.
