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.

“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).”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
But, then it hit me hard.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
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.
And, I had not made it.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
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.
Your credentials do not matter!

“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.”
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Searched for my roll number.
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).

And..
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
And entered the park.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
The batch sizes were huge!
Keep your ego aside.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
All the best!
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
