Found an empty bench..
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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…

Keep your ego aside.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
How can the K-pop fandom have such a toxic mentality?
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
All achievers in their own way.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And entered the park.
Anyway!
The batch sizes were huge!
Aut dolorem voluptates tempore maxime.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Searched for my roll number.

It is almost impossible.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I looked around me
Cleared multiple of them
.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I did not go back to my home.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I was constantly staring into the ground
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

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).
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Worked for a marketing agency
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
“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.”
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.
“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).”
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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”
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.
Your credentials do not matter!
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
But, then it hit me hard.
And, I had not made it.
All the best!
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
And..
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Dropped them
“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.”
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I was alone in Delhi back then
I vividly remember that evening.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
