I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I did not go back to my home.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

It is almost impossible.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
“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.”
All the best!
I was alone in Delhi back then
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
“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.
How does the brain decide "what" thought to attach to a feeling?
And..
Anyway!
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 write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
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.
Found an empty bench..
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Why am I sweating so much when I try to do anything?
But, then it hit me hard.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
And entered the park.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
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.
“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).”
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

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.”
Your credentials do not matter!
What is the story behind bhai dooj?
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
All achievers in their own way.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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.

Dropped them
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
.
And, I had not made it.
Keep your ego aside.
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).
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I was constantly staring into the ground
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Searched for my roll number.
I vividly remember that evening.
The batch sizes were huge!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
