I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I vividly remember that evening.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I want to touch my sister’s boobs. What do I say?
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
All the best!
But, then it hit me hard.
Keep your ego aside.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I was constantly staring into the ground
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

What’s the best way to get over someone you love?
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).
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

It lasted approximately 10 months.
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.
I did not go back to my home.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
What song are you listening to right now? What does it mean to you?
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
And entered the park.

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..
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Is it legal for an employer to ask why you are taking time off from work?
“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).”
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
The batch sizes were huge!
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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…

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was alone in Delhi back then
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
All achievers in their own way.
Dropped them
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Worked for a marketing agency
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Found an empty bench..
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.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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.
Anyway!
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And, I had not made it.
It is almost impossible.
