I looked around me
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

“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.”

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Why do older people have a hard time using technology?
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
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 vividly remember that evening.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
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.

When was the first time you felt discriminated against because you were female?
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I did not go back to my home.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

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

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
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.
Searched for my roll number.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
And entered the park.
Dropped them
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
It is almost impossible.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Your credentials do not matter!
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Anyway!
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Keep your ego aside.
“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.”
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.
And, I had not made it.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I was constantly staring into the ground
The batch sizes were huge!
Worked for a marketing agency
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
But, then it hit me hard.
All the best!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
