I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Anyway!
What is some information about unprotected sex and pregnancy?
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Your credentials do not matter!
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
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.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

“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.”
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Searched for my roll number.
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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And entered the park.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
It is almost impossible.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I did not go back to my home.

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.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
If you were to write a book about being a K-pop fan, what would the last sentence be?
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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.

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).
Keep your ego aside.
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…
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.
I vividly remember that evening.
But, then it hit me hard.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
The batch sizes were huge!
And, I had not made it.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Worked for a marketing agency
“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).”
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
All the best!
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
All achievers in their own way.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I was constantly staring into the ground
It lasted approximately 10 months.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Dropped them
I looked around me
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
“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.”
