All achievers in their own way.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

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.
And, I had not made it.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
“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.”
And entered the park.
“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.”
“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).”
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Cleared multiple of them
It is almost impossible.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Keep your ego aside.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
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.

All the best!
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I did not go back to my home.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I looked around me
Anyway!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I was constantly staring into the ground
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Dropped them
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I vividly remember that evening.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Your credentials do not matter!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I was alone in Delhi back then
The batch sizes were huge!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Found an empty bench..
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Worked for a marketing agency
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Searched for my roll number.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
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).
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And..
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
