And, I had not made it.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
It is almost impossible.

The batch sizes were huge!
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
“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.”
Your credentials do not matter!

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.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

And entered the park.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Anyway!
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

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.
Cleared multiple of them
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And..
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Searched for my roll number.
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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Keep your ego aside.
I was alone in Delhi back then
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
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.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
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).
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I vividly remember that evening.
“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).”
Worked for a marketing agency
“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?
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
But, then it hit me hard.
