I vividly remember that evening.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

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).
Dropped them
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.

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Your credentials do not matter!
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Found an empty bench..
And, I had not made it.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Why did Britain steal Gibraltar from Spain?
Cleared multiple of them
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I did not go back to my home.
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.”

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
But, then it hit me hard.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

And entered the park.
All the best!

“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).”
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
“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.”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
