All the best!
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
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.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

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.
I vividly remember that evening.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

It is almost impossible.
Cleared multiple of them
I did not go back to my home.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
“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.”
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Searched for my roll number.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
“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).”
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
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…
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Your credentials do not matter!
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.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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 write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Keep your ego aside.
I was constantly staring into the ground
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
All achievers in their own way.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
.
Anyway!
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I looked around me
Found an empty bench..
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
The batch sizes were huge!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
“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.”
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Dropped them
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
And, I had not made it.
And entered the park.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
