I did not go back to my home.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

I vividly remember that evening.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Searched for my roll number.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I was constantly staring into the ground
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

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.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And, I had not made it.
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…
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

But, then it hit me hard.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I was alone in Delhi back then
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

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

I looked around me
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And entered the park.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Anyway!
.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Worked for a marketing agency
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“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.”
.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
“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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Your credentials do not matter!
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Dropped them
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
All achievers in their own way.
Found an empty bench..
All the best!
The batch sizes were huge!
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
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.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Keep your ego aside.
It is almost impossible.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
