In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Magnetic fields appear to be as old as the universe itself. What created them? - Space
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
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.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Searched for my roll number.
Keep your ego aside.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
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.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
It is almost impossible.
“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.”

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
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).
