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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

I looked around me

How has your life changed since starting college?
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
And, I had not made it.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
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.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I was constantly staring into the ground
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
But, then it hit me hard.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
“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).”
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
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.

I vividly remember that evening.
And entered the park.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Cleared multiple of them
It is almost impossible.
Your credentials do not matter!
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Dropped them
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I did not go back to my home.
I was alone in Delhi back then
