I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Keep your ego aside.
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).
Consequatur explicabo natus minima expedita.
Dropped them
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I looked around me
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
And..
It is almost impossible.
Which certification is most valuable in the IT field, and why?
“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).”
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

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

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
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.
“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.”
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

“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 was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over 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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And entered the park.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I did not go back to my home.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I was constantly staring into the ground
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
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.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
All the best!
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
But, then it hit me hard.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
And, I had not made it.
