Keep your ego aside.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

Searched for my roll number.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I vividly remember that evening.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I looked around me
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

Anyway!
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
And entered the park.
It is almost impossible.
I was constantly staring into the ground
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I was alone in Delhi back then
“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.”

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
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 write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
All the best!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Cleared multiple of them
And, I had not made it.
Worked for a marketing agency
“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.”
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
“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).”
Your credentials do not matter!
Found an empty bench..
The batch sizes were huge!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
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).
All achievers in their own way.
I did not go back to my home.
And..
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
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.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
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.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
