A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
But, then it hit me hard.

Keep your ego aside.
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.
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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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)
“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 go back to my home.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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).
All achievers in their own way.
All the best!
I looked around me
I was alone in Delhi back then
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Cleared multiple of them

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I was constantly staring into the ground

Anyway!
And..
It is almost impossible.
Your credentials do not matter!
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
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.
I vividly remember that evening.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
“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.”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
And entered the park.
Found an empty bench..
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.”
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
The batch sizes were huge!
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
“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).”
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Dropped them
It lasted approximately 10 months.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
And, I had not made it.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
