And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I did not go back to my home.
Cleared multiple of them
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
And..
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

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).”
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
What was your experience when trying GHB?
Searched for my roll number.
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.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
All achievers in their own way.
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).

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
But, then it hit me hard.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
“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.”
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.”
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And, I had not made it.
