But, then it hit me hard.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
“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.”

Your credentials do not matter!
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I vividly remember that evening.

It is almost impossible.

All achievers in their own way.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

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.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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).”

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 was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
The batch sizes were huge!
I did not go back to my home.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Why would my nipples hurt when I touch them?
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I was alone in Delhi back then
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Anyway!
And entered the park.
Found an empty bench..

Searched for my roll number.
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.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
“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?”
Keep your ego aside.

Dropped them
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
All the best!
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).
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
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.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I looked around me
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
