After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Your credentials do not matter!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
“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).”

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I looked around me
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

But, then it hit me hard.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I vividly remember that evening.
The batch sizes were huge!
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Searched for my roll number.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Keep your ego aside.
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.
Dropped them
And..
“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.”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I did not go back to my home.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
All achievers in their own way.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Anyway!
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, 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.”
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
And entered the park.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
