Searched for my roll number.
Cleared multiple of them
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.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
