I was alone in Delhi back then
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
What was Easter day like for you as a child?
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
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.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I was constantly staring into the ground
It lasted approximately 10 months.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I did not go back to my home.
How do you handle family members who ask for handouts?
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
“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.”
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Worked for a marketing agency
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Who is the most dangerous or evilest person of all time?
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
“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.”
What does it feel like when a guy cums in your ass?
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Keep your ego aside.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

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…
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
The batch sizes were huge!
Quis sed officia eum accusantium animi.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
How is AI influencing interior design in 2025?
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
It is almost impossible.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
And..

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
But, then it hit me hard.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Cleared multiple of them
Dropped them
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
All the best!
Anyway!
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
All achievers in their own way.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
“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 looked around me
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Searched for my roll number.
Your credentials do not matter!
.
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).
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Found an empty bench..
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I vividly remember that evening.
And, I had not made it.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And entered the park.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
