All achievers in their own way.
.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

“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.”
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And..
Who has gotten cured from a stage 4 breast cancer? The oncologist told her she would never be cured.
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?”
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
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 batch sizes were huge!

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Dropped them
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I looked around me
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was constantly staring into the ground
“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.”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
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).
Searched for my roll number.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I vividly remember that evening.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Anyway!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
“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 move for the next 30 minutes..
Keep your ego aside.
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.
Worked for a marketing agency
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
.
And, I had not made it.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I was alone in Delhi back then
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
It is almost impossible.
And entered the park.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
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 write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
All the best!
But, then it hit me hard.
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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I did not go back to my home.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
