“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.”
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
“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.”

Keep your ego aside.
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.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
But, then it hit me hard.

Cleared multiple of them
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!
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And..
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I was alone in Delhi back then
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
.
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 was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I looked around me
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
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.
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…
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Searched for my roll number.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And entered the park.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
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).”
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
All the best!
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
