If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Anyway!
Why do men prefer women below the age of 30?
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 was constantly staring into the ground
How would you describe modern day Russian society, beyond just politics?
And, I had not made it.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
When do you feel most peaceful ever?
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Why are black people harassed more by police officers?
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Your credentials do not matter!
Dropped them
What is the most interesting question you can ask to get to know someone?
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

I was alone in Delhi back then
I vividly remember that evening.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
The batch sizes were huge!
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.”
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Laudantium rerum sunt ipsa minima corporis exercitationem cupiditate.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
All the best!

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 joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And..
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.

Worked for a marketing agency
Searched for my roll number.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
“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.
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, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
And entered the park.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Found an empty bench..
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I looked around me
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
All achievers in their own way.
Keep your ego aside.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
It is almost impossible.
.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I did not go back to my home.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
But, then it hit me hard.
“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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Cleared multiple of them
