I was constantly staring into the ground
All achievers in their own way.
It is almost impossible.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
What species of fish are horse mackerels?
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
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.
“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.”

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Anyway!
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…
What are some recommended foods for reducing eye fatigue?
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

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

But, then it hit me hard.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
And..
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I looked around me
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
It lasted approximately 10 months.

And entered the park.
Keep your ego aside.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
“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).”
Found an empty bench..
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
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.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I vividly remember that evening.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Cleared multiple of them
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Searched for my roll number.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Your credentials do not matter!
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Worked for a marketing agency
The batch sizes were huge!
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
And, I had not made it.
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.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Dropped them
All the best!
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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 -
