This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I was constantly staring into the ground

Worked for a marketing agency
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

But, then it hit me hard.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

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).
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Found an empty bench..
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
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.
Keep your ego aside.
“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 the best!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
And entered the park.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
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 vividly remember that evening.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
“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..
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And, I had not made it.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
The batch sizes were huge!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I looked around me
“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.”
