“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).”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
All the best!
And, I had not made it.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

But, then it hit me hard.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
All achievers in their own way.
Cleared multiple of them
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

Anyway!
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
“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.”

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.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Keep your ego aside.
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).
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
“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.”
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

It is almost impossible.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I was alone in Delhi back then
I did not go back to my home.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
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.

The batch sizes were huge!
It lasted approximately 10 months.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Found an empty bench..
I looked around me
I vividly remember that evening.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Dropped them
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
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.
