Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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.
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…
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

Dropped them
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.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
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).

And entered the park.
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.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

It is almost impossible.
“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.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
The batch sizes were huge!
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Worked for a marketing agency
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
And, I had not made it.
Your credentials do not matter!
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Searched for my roll number.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
All achievers in their own way.
But, then it hit me hard.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I vividly remember that evening.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
“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.”
“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.”

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Keep your ego aside.
All the best!
I did not go back to my home.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Anyway!
