And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
“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.”
I was alone in Delhi back then
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
All the best!
“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.”
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
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.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Keep your ego aside.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
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.

Searched for my roll number.
Cleared multiple of them
I did not go back to my home.

What was your most memorable experience catching a fraudulent car seller?
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
It is almost impossible.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
The batch sizes were huge!
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

Your credentials do not matter!
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 is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
As an inmate did you have to live alongside a bully for your whole sentence?
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And, I had not made it.
And entered the park.
Anyway!
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
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).
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.
And..
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I looked around me
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Found an empty bench..
I vividly remember that evening.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
“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).”
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…
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
But, then it hit me hard.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
