Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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.
All the best!
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

Worked for a marketing agency
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
The batch sizes were huge!
Dropped them
But, then it hit me hard.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

It is almost impossible.
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).
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
“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).”
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

“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.”

I looked around me
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Cleared multiple of them
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.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Found an empty bench..
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
“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.”
And, I had not made it.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I was alone in Delhi back then
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Your credentials do not matter!
I did not go back to my home.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And..
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Searched for my roll number.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
And entered the park.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Keep your ego aside.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Anyway!
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I was constantly staring into the ground
