The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Keep your ego aside.
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…
Have you ever had sex with your mother-in-law? If so, how was it and did your wife ever find out?
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.
It is almost impossible.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
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.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Dropped them

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
“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 just cannot wake up early, even if I sleep on time. What should I do?
I did not go back to my home.
And..
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

Anyway!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
What were your fantasies when you reached puberty?
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I was alone in Delhi back then
But, then it hit me hard.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I was constantly staring into the ground
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.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

Found an empty bench..
The batch sizes were huge!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
“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.”
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
“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).”
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I vividly remember that evening.
All the best!
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
All achievers in their own way.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And entered the park.
.
I looked around me
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
And, I had not made it.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
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!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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).
Your credentials do not matter!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Searched for my roll number.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
