It is almost impossible.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

“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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
