After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Anyway!

Found an empty bench..
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
What was something you did naughty with your cousin?
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

And entered the park.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I did not go back to my home.
.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Can you explain the meaning of "mint condition" in relation to antiques or collectibles?
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
All the best!

And, I had not made it.
I looked around me

What should I do to stop being angered easily?
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
But, then it hit me hard.
“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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
“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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
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…
Cleared multiple of them
The batch sizes were huge!
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I vividly remember that evening.
Searched for my roll number.
“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.”
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.
It is almost impossible.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
And..
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
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.
Keep your ego aside.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Dropped them

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
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?”
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
All achievers in their own way.
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.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
