I did not go back to my home.
But, then it hit me hard.
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, 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.”
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
.
Your credentials do not matter!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And, I had not made 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.”

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Found an empty bench..
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
It is almost impossible.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Dropped them
And..
