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.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Your credentials do not matter!
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

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.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
“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.”
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I did not go back to my home.
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…
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

I looked around me
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

“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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for 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).”

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.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
The batch sizes were huge!
Cleared multiple of them
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Anyway!
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
It is almost impossible.
Dropped them
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

I was alone in Delhi back then
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

.
And entered the park.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
All the best!
