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

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

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.

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

And..

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

What would you change in the "Game of Thrones" storyline if you were one of the writers of the TV series?

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

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

“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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

I was alone in Delhi back then

When was the last time you had sex with someone much older than yourself?

Your credentials do not matter!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Honestly! Do you people actually watch all that nonsense produced by the nitwit network television stations or do they just claim you do?

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

Keep your ego aside.

I was constantly staring into the ground

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

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.

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?”

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

I did not go back to my home.

But, then it hit me hard.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

Why is my ex mad I moved on when he dumped me?

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Found an empty bench..

I looked around me

All achievers in their own way.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

Anyway!

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

“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).”

It is almost impossible.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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.

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

And, I had not made it.

All the best!

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.

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…

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

Searched for my roll number.

I vividly remember that evening.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

Worked for a marketing agency

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
