And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Cleared multiple of them
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
All achievers in their own way.
And entered the park.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was constantly staring into the ground

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
The batch sizes were huge!
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.
Found an empty bench..
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
“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.”
Searched for my roll number.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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).

“I, too, was an aspirant, 20 years back. I have met board toppers, state board toppers, and college toppers with more than 9+ CGPA who prepare for this exam.”
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
.
Your credentials do not matter!
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
How good do you sing and how do you know this?
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.
Each class used to be 2.5 hours each. Making it a total of 5 hours of coaching classes daily. The classes used to be 7 days a week.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I did not go back to my home.
It is almost impossible.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Keep your ego aside.
I vividly remember that evening.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
But, then it hit me hard.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Dropped them
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
All the best!

It lasted approximately 10 months.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Anyway!
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Dare you, peep in your neighbour's notebook. After all, it is a national-level competitive exam - people tend to be extremely competitive. Tough days…
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And, I had not made it.
“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).”
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
