Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
And entered the park.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
“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.”

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
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.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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).”

And, I had not made it.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
All the best!

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.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Searched for my roll number.
