I looked around me
“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.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
What should I do to stop being angered easily?
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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).

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

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
All achievers in their own way.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
But, then it hit me hard.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
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.

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.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Cleared multiple of them
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Keep your ego aside.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I did not go back to my home.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
All the best!
“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).”
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
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..
Your credentials do not matter!
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

Dropped them
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
It is almost impossible.
Found an empty bench..
Anyway!
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
