So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

“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.”
All the best!
The batch sizes were huge!
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

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.
Keep your ego aside.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I vividly remember that evening.
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.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And, I had not made it.
“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.”
“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.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I did not go back to my home.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I was constantly staring into the ground
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
It is almost impossible.
