Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
The batch sizes were huge!
I was alone in Delhi back then

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I did not go back to my home.
Have husbands and wives ever had a threesome with someone in real life? How did it happen?
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

“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).”
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.
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…
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
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.
Worked for a marketing agency
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Is it true that in 2028 there will be a new AIDS variant that will wipe out all the LBGTQ+ people?
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Your credentials do not matter!
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
.
Searched for my roll number.
Keep your ego aside.
Anyway!
“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.”
But, then it hit me hard.
Is there a possibility that we are living in a simulation and that there is a concept of rebirth?
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Why do people stop working towards achieving their dreams?
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
And entered the park.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
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.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Dropped them
I was constantly staring into the ground
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And..
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
“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.”
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
All the best!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
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.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
It is almost impossible.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling 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).
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I vividly remember that evening.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
