Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

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 had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

Keep your ego aside.
I was alone in Delhi back then

I was constantly staring into the ground
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I did not go back to my home.
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!
Your credentials do not matter!
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

The batch sizes were huge!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
“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.”
How did Trump's ear recover 100% from the "two centimeter wound" we were told of two weeks ago?
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Anyway!
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
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).
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
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…
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
“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).”
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
.
Cleared multiple of them
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.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
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.
But, then it hit me hard.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Found an empty bench..
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Worked for a marketing agency
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And entered the park.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I vividly remember that evening.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
All achievers in their own way.
I looked around me
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
And, I had not made it.
Dropped them
“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.”
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
