A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I did not go back to my home.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

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.
And..
It lasted approximately 10 months.
“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.”
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.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
All the best!
And entered the park.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Where are the gay people in India?
I was constantly staring into the ground
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
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…
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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).”
But, then it hit me hard.
I vividly remember that evening.

And, I had not made it.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

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.
“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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Cleared multiple of them
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I looked around me
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).
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.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
All achievers in their own way.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
The batch sizes were huge!
Dropped them
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Anyway!
Your credentials do not matter!
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
It is almost impossible.
