I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
“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.”
The batch sizes were huge!

I did not go back to my home.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
All the best!

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).”
And, I had not made it.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

Anyway!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And..
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I vividly remember that evening.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
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.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I was constantly staring into the ground

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Searched for my roll number.
I looked around me
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
It is almost impossible.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
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).
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Keep your ego aside.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
