I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

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

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

“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.”

And entered the park.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

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

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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 was constantly staring into the ground

The batch sizes were huge!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

“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).”

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

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…
