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

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

“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).”

Can you explain the difference between being a conservative Republican and a liberal Democrat? Can you provide some examples of their ideologies?

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.

Searched for my roll number.

What is the most peculiar thing about the human brain?

The batch sizes were huge!

“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.”

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

Worked for a marketing agency

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

And..

Dropped them

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

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

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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

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.

I looked around me

I vividly remember that evening.

I was constantly staring into the ground
