And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
“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 did not go back to my home.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

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.”
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Worked for a marketing agency
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And..
Cleared multiple of them
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
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.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I was constantly staring into the ground
“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).”

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
All achievers in their own way.
I vividly remember that evening.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Liberals, why don't you like Conservatives?
Found an empty bench..
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.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

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.
And, I had not made it.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
It is almost impossible.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
And entered the park.
I looked around me
But, then it hit me hard.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Dropped them
All the best!
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Anyway!
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 lasted approximately 10 months.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I was alone in Delhi back then
Keep your ego aside.
Searched for my roll number.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
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…
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
The batch sizes were huge!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
