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…
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

Your credentials do not matter!
I was alone in Delhi back then
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Found an empty bench..
Dropped them

I did not go back to my home.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

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.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
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.
The batch sizes were huge!
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
.
It is almost impossible.
But, then it hit me hard.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I looked around me
Cleared multiple of them
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Searched for my roll number.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
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.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
And, I had not made it.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
“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.”
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).
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
“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).”
“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.”
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Anyway!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
All achievers in their own way.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I vividly remember that evening.
