I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

“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).”
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…
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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 did not go back to my home.

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Anyway!
“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.”
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.

I vividly remember that evening.

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Your credentials do not matter!
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
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.

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
All the best!
Et maxime modi eaque sint iure.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I was alone in Delhi back then
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
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.”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
All achievers in their own way.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Searched for my roll number.
Keep your ego aside.
But, then it hit me hard.
And, I had not made it.
And entered the park.
Found an empty bench..
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
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.
Cleared multiple of them
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
It is almost impossible.
The batch sizes were huge!
And..
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.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I looked around me
