I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Found an empty bench..
What do you respect the most about Elon Musk?
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Your credentials do not matter!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

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.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I vividly remember that evening.
I looked around me
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Searched for my roll number.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I was constantly staring into the ground
Does anyone wear see-through clothes to show off underwear?
“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).”
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
All achievers in their own way.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
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.
“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.
Cleared multiple of them

.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Keep your ego aside.
And, I had not made it.

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…
Worked for a marketing agency
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
And..
But, then it hit me hard.
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, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
The batch sizes were huge!
“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.”
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Anyway!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Dropped them
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
It is almost impossible.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
And entered the park.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I did not go back to my home.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
