And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
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 did not go back to my home.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I vividly remember that evening.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

Dropped them
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Your credentials do not matter!

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
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…

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Anyway!
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
“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
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
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.

“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.”
Found an empty bench..
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I was alone in Delhi back then
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Searched for my roll number.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
It is almost impossible.
Cleared multiple of them
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
All achievers in their own way.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
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).
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
And..
The batch sizes were huge!
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
But, then it hit me hard.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
.
And entered the park.
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.
And, I had not made it.
“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.”
