All the best!
I did not go back to my home.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
President Trump kicked Zelensky out of the White House. Is it over for a deal?
It lasted approximately 10 months.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
The batch sizes were huge!
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
All achievers in their own way.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

“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).”
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.

Found an empty bench..
And entered the park.
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).
Are you able to lie, even though you have Aspergers?
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was constantly staring into the ground
And..

“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, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
“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.”
Why do liberals refuse to define what a woman is and what does that mean for the future of feminism?
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
How do you respond to "I don't like you anymore"?
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
It is almost impossible.
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.

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And, I had not made it.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Your credentials do not matter!
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Anyway!
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
But, then it hit me hard.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
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.
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.
I looked around me
Worked for a marketing agency
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I vividly remember that evening.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
