I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Dare you, peep in your neighbour's notebook. After all, it is a national-level competitive exam - people tend to be extremely competitive. Tough days…

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

.

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

Searched for my roll number.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

But, then it hit me hard.

“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.”

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

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.

Anyway!

Dropped them

.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

“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..

I looked around me

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.
