I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
“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.”
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

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.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Anyway!

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Keep your ego aside.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I looked around me
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.

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).
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Why do I sweat a great deal while exercising the same on some days and not so much on others?
I did not go back to my home.
.
And..
The batch sizes were huge!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
But, then it hit me hard.
“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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
What is the happy reality of our generation?
Your credentials do not matter!
I vividly remember that evening.
Cleared multiple of them
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

All achievers in their own way.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Found an empty bench..
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Dropped them
“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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
And entered the park.
