I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
All achievers in their own way.
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.

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..
It is almost impossible.

“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).”

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Anyway!
Found an empty bench..
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
But, then it hit me hard.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
And, I had not made it.
Searched for my roll number.
