“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.”
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
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.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
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).

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
The batch sizes were huge!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I did not go back to my home.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I was alone in Delhi back then
But, then it hit me hard.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
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.”
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
And, I had not made it.
I was constantly staring into the ground
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
“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).”
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
