Why upsc is considered the toughest exam in the whole world?

“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.”

Dropped them

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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).

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

“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).”

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
