2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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 exam has its own way of humbling you.
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…
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Worked for a marketing agency
And, I had not made it.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Dropped them
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I was constantly staring into the ground

I vividly remember that evening.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
“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).”

All achievers in their own way.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Found an empty bench..
The batch sizes were huge!
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
But, then it hit me hard.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
All the best!
Anyway!
It is almost impossible.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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).
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
“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 looked around me
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
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.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

Searched for my roll number.
“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.”
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.
.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
