Anyway!
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Keep your ego aside.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
“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.”
Consequatur explicabo natus minima expedita.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Found an empty bench..
I was constantly staring into the ground
I vividly remember that evening.
.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Your credentials do not matter!
I did not go back to my home.
Why is my ex trying to provoke an argument with me?
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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).
I looked around me
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Worked for a marketing agency
How can I be the smartest human on Earth?
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
And..
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Is anyone else losing complete respect for the US at this point?
And entered the park.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
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
“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).”
It lasted approximately 10 months.

It is almost impossible.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
The batch sizes were huge!
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
All the best!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
But, then it hit me hard.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
All achievers in their own way.
.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Searched for my roll number.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
“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.”
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
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.

And, I had not made it.
