“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
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.
“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).”
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).
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I did not go back to my home.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
The batch sizes were huge!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Anyway!
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.
It is almost impossible.
