And, I had not made it.

And..

Can a relationship really last forever?

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

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.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Your credentials do not matter!

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

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

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.

“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).”

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

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

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

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

But, then it hit me hard.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I did not go back to my home.

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

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

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

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

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

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I vividly remember that evening.

“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.”

.

Keep your ego aside.

The batch sizes were huge!

And entered the park.

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

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

Dropped them

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Anyway!

All the best!

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

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

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).

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
