After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
“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).”
Who was most disrespectful today, Zelensky, Trump, or Vance? Give examples.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Dropped 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.
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).
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
“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.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I looked around me
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
All achievers in their own way.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

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.
Worked for a marketing agency
I vividly remember that evening.

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.

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.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
And entered the park.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
“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.”
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
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.
Searched for my roll number.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
The batch sizes were huge!
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
It is almost impossible.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
But, then it hit me hard.
I did not go back to my home.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Found an empty bench..
And..
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I was constantly staring into the ground
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
“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.”
Keep your ego aside.
And, I had not made it.
Cleared multiple of them
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
