“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.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Why did Donald Trump look so old during the debate?
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Dropped them
And entered the park.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
The batch sizes were huge!
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Searched for my roll number.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Why is casting white historical people black in movies wrong?
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
But, then it hit me hard.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I looked around me
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
‘Gas station heroin’ is technically illegal and widely available. Here are the facts - WANE 15
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Is it bad to sleep with music in your ears?
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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Cleared multiple of them
Why do Democrats claim to be Americans when they are actually Globalists?
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.
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, 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 was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I vividly remember that evening.
Andrew Tate said the covid is a scam and only dorks get vaccinated. Is it true?
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Worked for a marketing agency
It lasted approximately 10 months.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
And..
What are some negative effects of ADHD meds?
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Anyway!

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Found an empty bench..
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
.

I was alone in Delhi back then
All achievers in their own way.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I did not go back to my 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.”
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…
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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And, I had not made it.
All the best!
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
It is almost impossible.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
“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).”
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Keep your ego aside.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Your credentials do not matter!
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
