I vividly remember that evening.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
But, then it hit me hard.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

I was constantly staring into the ground
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).

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And, I had not made it.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
It lasted approximately 10 months.
“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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Anyway!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
“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).”
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
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.
