The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And entered the park.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
What is the top-rated beach resort in Bali, Indonesia according to TripAdvisor reviews?
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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.
Which Ayurvedic ritual, dry brushing, oil pulling, or facial massage, do you want to try first?
But, then it hit me hard.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Searched for my roll number.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Anyway!
And..
Found an empty bench..
I was constantly staring into the ground
Why do people see porn pics when they can watch porn videos instead?
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

Do you feel uncomfortable when you come across cross dressers?
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Cleared multiple of them
What are some reasons why people may fear strong men?
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I vividly remember that evening.

How did Madri, mother of Nakula and Sahadeva die?
I did not go back to my home.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
And, I had not made it.
The batch sizes were huge!
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
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.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
All the best!
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
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…
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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).
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I looked around me
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I was alone in Delhi back then
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Your credentials do not matter!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
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.”
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Keep your ego aside.
“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.”
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
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.
“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).”
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Worked for a marketing agency
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
It is almost impossible.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
