Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
.
“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.”

But, then it hit me hard.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And..
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.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
“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.”
Dropped them
And entered the park.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

All the best!
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.

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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
What exactly is digital marketing?
Found an empty bench..
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I looked around me

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And, I had not made it.
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).

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Will German support for Ukraine decrease after the early elections on February 23, 2025?
It is almost impossible.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Anyway!
The batch sizes were huge!
Keep your ego aside.
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.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Your credentials do not matter!
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Cleared multiple of them
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
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.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
“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).”
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Worked for a marketing agency
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I vividly remember that evening.
“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 alone in Delhi back then
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
All achievers in their own way.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I did not go back to my home.
.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
