It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Searched for my roll number.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Why does my sister want to have sex with me? What should I do?
I did not go back to my home.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
But, then it hit me hard.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
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.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
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.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Why do you like Justin Trudeau when he's hated in Canada?
And entered the park.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
What are some sad truths about life?
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And..
Anyway!
Is it recommended to leave a note in a lost wallet asking for it to be returned?
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
“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 looked around me
Why aren't F1 cars popular on the street?
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was constantly staring into the ground
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
“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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Cleared multiple of them
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
All achievers in their own way.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
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.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
“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.”
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
And, I had not made it.
Dropped them
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…
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).
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
All the best!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Your credentials do not matter!
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I was alone in Delhi back then
I vividly remember that evening.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Keep your ego aside.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
The batch sizes were huge!
It is almost impossible.
