Hatts off to The Print for venturing into a less talked about area. Upsc toppers are made no less than the celebraties by the media. But at the same, the journey and the struggle of the people who did not find their name in the merit list must also be shown.

Amit Kilhor is Brilliant as Teacher! His way of teaching is very sophisticated and comprehensive!

Giving 5-8 years of your precious life is not a joke.

Parents ko aajkal sab easy lagta hai IIT jee , upsc unko chaai peene jaise lagta hai.. Sad but true..

Even I have went through this 4 attempt. 3 interview Divorce from wife Loan of 9 lacks on head and nothing remained in life in 2015 result Today I m very successful lawyer Life does not end but we have to be prepared for second carrier option after second attempt

Seriously this is called journalism, thank you the print for showing other side of this UPSC journey and story of these legends for inspiring upsc aspirants

Hii I am from Assam....in my neighborhood there lives a bengali boy he gave 4 attempts in upsc but couldn't clear after that he give SBI bank exam and got selected there now he is a branch manager of my district branch of SBI......So never give up n always believe in yourself

Rajat Sambyal sir got 307 in Anthropology Optional and total 942 in CSE 2021 which is no joke... Hats off Sir...

First the 'Aspirants' of TVF and now The Print, thank you for telling a story of those who couldn't make it.

Please continue this series, 99% of people never make it into these kinds of exams but their stories are never shown to the public, It'll help the public a lot, these coaching institutes don't want it, they always show only one side of the story!

लोगो ने life के 8-10 साल invest किए upsc की preparation में, तब उनको महसूस हुआ कि they're not for UPSC. Despite belonging to SC category, I invested only three years of my life in UPSC preparation and i was lucky मुझे सिर्फ 3 साल में ही पता लग गया कि i was also not for UPSC and then i gave up. For backup plan, i had already chosen Law and now i am continuing with it. अब UPSC preparation से मिली बहुत सारी चीज़े वकालत में और मेरी personal life में काम आती हैं। Message to UPSC aspirants:- At the end, UPSC preparation कभी waste नही जाती, ये व्यक्ति को जीवन में कहीं और success दिला देती है; कहीं और सफलता न भी दिलाए, अन्ततः अच्छा इन्सान तो ज़रुर बना देती है। - Vikas Sagar

I was a very good student throughout topper. My parents were very proud of me. Left decently paying job in placement and entered UPSC to make my parents proud . 8 years later I haven't cracked this exam and all my attempts have gone. I was very good student who won many national level Olympiads. I don't know what happened. Worst part is my parents are no longer proud of me. My cousins who never worked hard like me earn more than me today because they have 8-10 years experience in industry . My knowledge of Laxmikanth, NCERT, Economic Survey, RS Sharma has zero market value. I still don't know what went wrong.

Amit sir is genius of history.....his way of teaching is mindblowing, thanku sir for your extraordinary efforts ♥️

Thanks for Glorifying Unsung Heroes of UPSC ❤

Amit Kilhor sir, you're a damn good teacher! I cleared intelligence bureau assistant central intelligence officer (IB ACIO) - II with the help from your free lectures on KZfaq. Currently I'm a GST & CUSTOMS INSPECTOR. Good luck for your future endeavours... 🎉

Amit sir once in class you told us the difference between a war and a battle. War consists of many battles. Life is war and UPSC was one of its battles.. so what if one was lost. We’re always gonna lose a few! There are a lot many battles coming up for conquering! Keep shining bright the way you do sir, your light is gonna reach millions and you’re gonna win the war of life. Go strong ♥️

entrance exams in india are not meant for selection; they're meant for elimination. if you're not selected, there is no need to worry.

"Clear (UPSC) ho jata to sabka sapna, agar na hua to mera" - from Sandeep Bhaiya

Well I am also a UPSC aspirant who invested almost 2.5 years of my life and now I realized that sometimes it is important to know when to leave

Amit khillor's life is my life..i am crying after listening him. He is the faculty of study iq.

Tears in my eyes 💯 They are expressing the true and bitter experiences of millions of failed aspirants like me🔥🔥🔥

"Some Goals are so worthy, it's glorious even to fail" -Lt Manoj Kumar Pandey PvC 1/11 Gorkha Rifles

Being a UPSC Aspirant i can totally relate with them, I wish I could go back in time in my college days and relive all these years again having my present conciousness 🤞🔙⏳🤞

Thanks for The Print for covering this👍👍. Every year when UPSC results are out, when media chases the successful ones, there are thousands of heart broken aspirants who couldn't make to final list, despite years of hard work and sacrificing every joyful moments of their youth.

Life is above all exams you can have a high goal like IIT or UPSC or CA but ultimate goal should be to be happy in Life 🙏🙌

respect to Amit K. very straight forward and bold attitude to his reality.

There are Mouse Trap Exams of India... For PCB Students - NEET... For PCM Students - IIT JEE... For Art Students - UPSC... For Commerce Students - CA... I Think Most Of The Students Have This Mindset... ___________________________________________ But I Share A Story Of My Bua... She is an average student from UP Board... She has done BFA, MFA then PhD... Now she became a lecturer in Central Government after clearing a Exam ( sorry for not remember the Exam )... Her salary upto 80K... And she was happy with that...

I felt touched by this video. Nice Print team. I also gave six attempts (2015-2020) n 4 mains(17-20). It certainly takes away lots of energy of us. Its hard to rebuild the original fearless daring and rebel one in self. Certainly my anxiety and panic attacks during those days,, now I can understand. But as life has to go on.... We definitely gained a personality but I keep searching my original one. The courage to cross the mountains in one go,, to work tireless for the country....when I will meet myself again. Really felt a connect with Amit sir story.

Prepared 6 years for UPSC, gave prelims 4 times, Mains once and interview never. Then prepared for Indian Army - didn't get into the finals. 2 years gone. Then prepared another 2 years for Guinness World Records and after 14 years of hard work finally got success. Life was not easy for me.

कोई कितना भी समझा लें जो एक बार फस गया उनका निकलना बहुत मुस्किल हैं

Appeared for six mains (2010-15) and interviews. 7 years past since last attempt, don't know what would have happened if I got selected, bt When I was appearing for the exam, I was a totally different person. success and failure both change you in their own way.

I still remember my first class of Amit sir the way he was teaching with enthusiasm, sarcasm and a positive smile on his face from that moment i have seen him the same way but today when i saw him i felt bad for him. Thankyou sir, you are a tremendous teacher ,keep shining.

UPSC is really overhyped .. mainly by the coaching agencies .. a very good series by Print ...

Maturity is when you realise Amit sir is real life “Sandeep bhaiya “😭😭😭

संघर्ष ‘व्यक्तिगत’ होता है, सफलता ‘सामूहिक, वक्त की धूप में पकी हुई चीज बहुत कीमती होती है।❤️✌️

Amit sir , such an honest person who accept clearly the loss of his life and doing his work amazigly..

The main line is mam ki line Mera humour chala gaya

Subscribed this channel ...I was also in this race...after giving a few years and lot of hard word, mental burden, and a feeling of nothing good can be achieved finally....I changed my course...within a year cleared an officer level exam and joined a public sector bank,.gave rbi assistant manager interview...though faced a lot during my initial work in the job here ...but finally feel revived ...now when my friends suggest me to prepare again for upsc ....I deny with a beautiful smile on my face....

Finally there's someone who also covered the lost fighters who did have as much potential as the recommended students in IAS,IPS etc. otherwise every one is busy interviewing toppers and boasting their hardwork, however in reality toppers too are ambiguous about thier results and they too question their self capability a minute before seeing their names in final list.

Amit sir is a gem.. it’s unfortunate that he is not in the services but for the students he is god.. his way of teaching is great.

Amit Sir is the best. He is the true gem of StudyIQ. I'm lucky to get educated from you in History. Lots of prayers and happiness for you Sir, & I hope you find your true happiness. Bless you 🙏 🙏

I think it's beautiful that you cover the dark side of preparation... It broke me mentally & I went in depression & I'm still recovering it.. It's wonderfull... That you covered it..

Although I am not a Print frequenter but I appreciate their this initiative to bring this story in light. We need to touch upon the education and the monstrous impact they put on young minds when they fail, it's devastating.

He's right....managing parents' expectations is extremely difficult...Indian parents do really burden their child with excess expectations..

As a parent we focus on kids to achieve...never see failing by a whisker and it's impact. This opened me to the other side. Wishing these ex aspirants best of luck in finding alternatives. They are one of the best.

In an Exam where only max. 1000 students are selected out of 5-6 lakhs, I think it's not right to stay whiling time away at attempting it, instead other exams could be cracked and skills can be learned for pvt jobs/ MBA. ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE FIGHTING OUT THERE... ❤

Big Thanks to The Print for covering the stories of unsuccessful Aspirants. First time I get this experience to connect with these aspirants. Every one talk about success But They can give the more experience and life lesson to us. Kudos to these people, They have big bank of learning source for life.

Hats off to The Print for making this.. No One can ever understand the pain of reappearing the exam, giving ur best despite of knowing high chances of failure alongwith the dedication to ur own hardwork for giving in so many years.. But this video does come very close to show that to some extent! This is so imp for everyone who is related to UPSC Aspirants to watch!! And obviously a Must Watch for all Upsc ASPIRANTS, to help them MOVE ON!!! Thanku so much The Print for this!

Amit Sir is true inspiration for an aspirant. The amount of regret this person has within him and still he pretends to be super happy while teaching us is commendable. ❤

A must to watch video. Hats off to these aspirants for not giving up. They are the hope for others who also appear for such examinations but face the tremendous failure. The moral is clear "NEVER GIVE UP!" 🙌

Bitter truth of UPSC. Prepare, try your best and give attempts. If you feel you're stuck, get the f out of there. Life is full of opportunities. Go, try new things, passion, hobbies etc. Find yourself, UPSC is not only an option, there are hundreds of other things to try. Don't take life so seriously that an event make you stuck on it. No matter what, life keeps going in any circumstances. Keep going. Do what makes you happy, don't think you're a failure, no, no one is failure here. Everyone's hero. Play your role. Be yourself.

Amit Varidhikilor Sir, the way you teach and make history much interesting. I love the way you deliver. Much respect for you sir. 🙏

Amit Kilhor Sir : Amazing teacher, even better person 🤘🏻💚

When there are so many hardworking candidates and vacancies are so less, Destiny comes in play ..

To the great people featured in the video, & to the people who are reading this who have failed (even once), Aapne bohot books padhi hogi. Me humble request karna chahunga ki ek last book padh lijiye. Life badal jayegi ! *Shrimad Bhagavad Gita* 🙏🏻 P.S. I'm for 7 yrs. & still going (State-Level exams only though)

Success doesn't teach you as failure teaches you.... Quite interesting journey of the UPSC aspirants... Sailing on the same boat but my field is different.

Parents, friends and happiness, everything has to be sacrificed for UPSC, I am also an IAS aspirant, feeling all this 🙂

Dard he bhaii.....that feeling never gone in mind

I can totally relate with this lady, no social connect, complete immersion in studies, just books, isolation... its very sad. I got goosebumps just listening to her, she is complete WISDOM. I WROTE THIS COMMENT WHILE WATCHING THE VIDEO AND AM EDITING THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE LOSS IN UPSC IS BEHEMOTH. MAN SPEAKING IN THE LAST IS AMAZING, I CAN RELATE. WHATEVER THE LAST PERSON IS SAYING IS GIVING ME CHILLS.

Amit kilohar Sir : It takes patience , endurance and talent to be a teacher ..but you make it look so easy after every day ... I hope you know just how much we all appreciate you ❤️

सफलता की बात तो सब करतें है, और सफल लोगों की कहानियाँ भी सुनते और सुनाते हैं लेकिन कहानी की उन हिस्सों में क्या जिन्हें मेहनत के बावजूद़ सिर्फ असफलता और निराशा ही मिली.. चैनल को मेरा आभार कि आपने इस हिस्से को भी दिखाया

This is called the real inspiration. Hatts off to the team who made it. Amit sir is the best teacher. His lectures are awesome and very informative. All the aspirants did well and all the best

I completely agree 2022 I gave my 5th attempt couldn't able to clear and this year not eligible for last attempt. Last 7 years my life contained into two aspects my job and my upsc preparation and failing in 2022 and before failures made me very cynical about myself undervaluing my self confidence towards life. Even with my spine issue in 2020 and its surgery in 2021 I still gave attempts in 2021 and 2022 with the belief that I'll clear upsc this time. This video has been very positive for me because now I realize in past 7 years I kept myself surrounded with my job and upsc dreams and neglected my life completely, isolating with outside world. Now I letting myself into do something more constructive and engaging with people and world. I would say having a dream is good but dreams like upsc or other government examination has some limitations and few seats. If you are not able to clear examination in 3 or 4 attempts look for another aspect of life. Life is big and future is unknown, no one knows what's destiny has planned for you.

Teaching level of Amit is on different level, rare teachers who can make history interesting and he's one of them. I can proudly say that i'm the student of Amit sir.

Amit Varidhi Kilhor sir is my inspiration❤ Huge respect to him🙏

Reminds me of the rough phase I had in life. I am trying to rebuild life with the broken pieces of me left after the UPSC failure.

Hats off Amit Kilhor and all others for being honest. You all are great.

The way Amit kilhor sir told about his journey..it is real heart touching.. A aspirant can only know what he left out with this failure

Amit Sir is one of the phenomenal teacher he makes every thing so easy for learning one of the best teacher i have ever seen in my upsc journey.

Amit Sir, just telling one thing about you.. ap wo light ho jisne khud ko burn krne duniya ko roshini de rahe ho. i have seen your classes and im much impressed with that...All d best sir..

Amit khilor sir ...hats off to you for being so honest and taking responsibility of everything.....very genuine person ❤

With due respect to everyone's struggle; I would like to say with outmost respect- giving yourself another chance is easy when your family is well settled. Middle class guys have existential crisis during preparations, think about them if they fail. Ps- Fan of amit sir, here!!!

This is the real story...success ki stories kam hain...ye zyada tar logon ki real kahani hai

Bahut hi achaa experience rha mera ye video dekhne ka...thankyou to all the Print team for sharing this video with us

Such a great initiative by "ThePrint" 👏 Thank you so much for this initiative. Every one talks about success but no one knows the worst side of it of how does this actually feel when you are at lowest point of your life. We need this kind of videos apart from UPSC successful interviews, so that we will get to know UPSC ke beyond bhi kuch life abhi baki hai. Most of us love to hear to from this kind of legends about their experiences and phases of life because if something goes wrong with us Hume lagtha hai ki everyone out there is fine but, Am I the only one on this planet who is going through this?? This is the most overlooked part of UPSC or any other exam. Thank you for keeping an eye on this issue. We'd love to hear more about these kind of Legends 🙏 we respect your from the bottom of our heart 💙 This will really make us think about our careers, backup plans, years of dedication and hardwork and most important what if agar nahi hua tho will remain the biggest question ever!! It's like "Go far to see how much far it is" As the saying goes on, "Don't read success stories, you will only get a message. Read failure stories, you will get some ideas to get success." A person never wants to fail, but if a person fails we have to appreciate and respect them for the amount of heart and soul that they put into the work. But unfortunately, for people results are more important than hardwork. Thank you

Thank You so much "The Print"❤️ For showing this most important part of life💔

This video is imp not just for an aspirant but also for parents as well.

Today i watched this video in a single time, and realize one thing - This is not easy journey as i think since i watched their failure story regarding to UPSC. I am also a UPSC aspirant, I am currently 21 years young guy who think He will definately crack upsc in first attempt God's knows But i try very very hard to crack upsc. Thanks for this video

THE PRINT is doing excellent job. Congratulations 👏 to the entire team.

Word hited hard when he said “if i will get a chance to do it i will never do it “

दुनिया सिर्फ उन्हीं लोगों का संघर्ष देखती है ,जो सफल हो जाते है।।। Thanks for this wonderful coverage ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I subscribed your channel only bcoz of your this great effort and hardwork, IAS bn gye ye rank vo rank, beyond success and exams there is life!!! You guys nailed it!!!!!

Amit Sir you might have not won upsc but you are winning our hearts by teaching us .Great to have you as a Teacher. You will make many Future IAS,IPS,etc officers .You are awesome Sir❤️😍

Thank you sooo much The Print for this 🥺, It was eye opening, most of your subscribers are UPSC Aspirants as well, especially because you also educate us on the bureaucratic aspects of the Government through various initiatives like Cut the Clutter, and because of your balanced, Unbiased, impartial approach to news..🙏

The entire video has an essence of subtle sadness and pain. It's just heartbreaking to see talented people in depression and regret and the worst part is that the stories of these people are only a drop in the ocean. There are numerous students with more worse stories. I just wish failure wasn't so hard and life could be a little more fair to genuinely good people. This just made me cry.🙏

The best video on internet. Thank you The Print to make of video who are not winners but the True Warriors of the journey.

Amit Sir, You have been a great inspiration for me and several others. We understand dismay in your tone while turning those pages again, still we believe in you, whatever you are doing right now is no less than being a civil servant, inculcating values in aspirants and contributing back to the society. That's the motive we all starts with, but very few people stick to that, and we are proud to say that you are one of them ! I would like to share a quote that I read in one of Arun Shourie's Interview ~ "Potted plants can't draw water on their own, they have to be watered by somebody else, if you are a tree outside maybe you can draw water on your own" Thanks for being a tree rather a potted plant, we all aspire to be a tree with your able guidance and ideals !

I was exactly thinking of same video that why failed candidates are never interviewed! Nice initiative👍🏻

Kudos to all the people who bounced back in life after such hectic struggle ✨

बहुत धन्यवाद आपका.... इन लोगो की भी अपनी उम्मीदे होती हैं.... जो आपने दिखाया 🙏🙏

Respect to everyone, And Amit sir you are superb life is war and there are so many battles in it. You just lost to UPSC but you have won our love. Your method of teaching is awesome and I thank Study IQ for finding gem like you.

Amit Sir, nobody teaches like you. Keep going !! Best Mentor 🥰

In this era where ias has been turned into a cult and it's no more a simple recruitment exam, I really thank The Print for bringing up this dark side of the story which the world often prefers to overlook.

Much appreciation for the print to showing the more than 99% face of the UPSC. My heart really goes out to them. UPSC should restricted it to for 1or 2 attempts only. Our youth have a way more potential than preparing for UPSC or any other govt exams just for the sake of power or the relaxed govt job. We as a nation have to go much far and for that this has to be stopped.

Kudos to the print for acknowledgement.. M so fortunate to know Nitish Garg personally nd I know how he poured his soul into the preparation but m glad 😊 govt started to give some recognition ... Nitish Garg said it so beautifully " chakravyuh se niklna bht jaruri hai " and yes at the end ur sanity is all that matters.

After giving 5.5yrs to the government exams and missing exams by 0.42 marks and very less less marks I missed the cutt off now I decided to quit but when I see my books I feel crying don't know how to overcome but after giving full hardwork I am nowhere but still I have the confidence I will do something better than the government jobs.....

Thankyou print for putting this side of upsc out in front of us...we all get so engaged in seeing the celebrity status of ias officers and i truly feel this needs to be stopped not only for our mental peace but also when our parents see these type of hyped status they somehow also develop a hope that one day his or her child will clear though it is not wrong but beyond a certain limit it creates pressure on child.I totally agree with Amit sir this journey literally takes away everything from you though you would gain knowledge but what's it use when our loved ones our special ones are not there with us.

He is fantastic.... Such a genuine man... Lots of love & respect Amit sir

Amit sir is the best teacher, motivator and inspiration for all the aspiring students....
