2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

Keep your ego aside.

And..

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I vividly remember that evening.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

And, I had not made it.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

But, then it hit me hard.

Found an empty bench..

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

I was constantly staring into the ground

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.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

“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.”

I did not go back to my home.

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.

Searched for my roll number.

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.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
