@NishkamKarma

The sheer amount of strength (read as loneliness, tears, fear and those unstoppable chain of thoughts) and hardwork required to be here is unimaginable. Respect ✨

All the very best Brother for future endeavours.

OUT. 5th attempt. 3rd mains. Done with UPSC as it has become an ego issue rather than an exam. time to heal and move on.

Man, I really expected that I will clear this time. I was preparing for PT. Everything was in order this time. I was preparing without coaching. There are voices ranging from "change optional and take one year break" to "leave UPSC forever and take up a job". I don't know what to do. I gave 6 yrs to this preparation and can't come to terms with 2 Mains failure. It is much like I gain 1 mediocre thing and lose 20 other things.

I have 2 more attempts left but idk if I can go on anymore. The pressure of appearing for Prelims AGAIN?! And face that 2023-like paper?

I slogged day and night. I remember opening Vector Analysis on the train back from Ranchi to Dhanbad. My thumb was swollen because of writing so many answers but still I fought my sleep to revise the topic.

*Sigh* I don't know if there's any sunrise to this night or if there's any light at the end of the tunnel.

Out with PSIR :(. Most of you here will probably not remember me/ know me but I used to be active in 2020-21 cycle a lot on forum.

This was my 5th attempt and 3rd mains. After qualifying my last mains I took it as a given to get through the mains. I’m standing at a crossroads of deciding whether to continue with upsc alongside a job for one attempt or just move on altogether. One of my smartest decisions in hindsight (which I cursed every day in the past) was to get a professional degree. Yes, it was tough to sustain my attempts alongside college assignments and exams, but it was a good decision. Today, if nothing I’m getting job offers from decent schools (I got a B.Ed) and don’t face a future of complete uncertainty.

My advice to all aspirants is to please upskill your self (it’s not a keyword for answer writing), or at least look into getting back into your core profession after 3 serious attempts.

Out with Chemistry; Was not entirely sure of making it into the list but was sure of having some decent chances in the exam, but still, it is difficult to process the shock. Also felt disappointed in the fact that I had left my job in January this year to prepare for it.

For plan B, had written CAT; I think I would be pursuing that.

@tedmosby @LetsGetThisBread @GaryVee When deserving people like you are not in the list, it breaks heart and the success in this exam seems even more elusive. I was expecting your selection as well, have been a silent observant here on this platform since last 3-4 years and have admired your focus, hard work and consistency.
Hope you get the deserving rewards for all the hard work you have put, whether in UPSC or elsewhere.

Thanks lot for saying this. It means a lot to know that there’s a lot of people praying for my successes as well. ❤️

@Averageaspirant out with mech can relate to you but the issue with optionals like chem phy math or other engg optionals is there is less spread to have a smooth curve so at times even if people perform okayish/decent they may get heavily penalised and there is rarely scope for average marks.
