I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Found an empty bench..
And entered the park.

I looked around me
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
What were some things that the ancient Greeks excelled at compared to the Romans?
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
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.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Keep your ego aside.
Why do narcissists devour so much sugar (candy, ice cream, donuts, etc., in huge amounts at a time)?
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.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
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, then it hit me hard.
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.
I was alone in Delhi back then

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
.
And..
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

“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 did not go back to my home.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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 vividly remember that evening.
It is almost impossible.
Anyway!
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

And, I had not made it.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Dropped them
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Your credentials do not matter!
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
All the best!
Cleared multiple of them
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…
.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Worked for a marketing agency
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I was constantly staring into the ground
The batch sizes were huge!
“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.”
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, 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.”
