Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
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.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on 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.”
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
And, I had not made it.
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.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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…
“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).”
All the best!
And..
Your credentials do not matter!
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Anyway!
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
