Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

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…
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
“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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I was constantly staring into the ground
“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).”
Searched for my roll number.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
“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.”
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
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.
But, then it hit me hard.
What does it feel like when a guy cums in your ass?
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Anyway!

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
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.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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 was alone in Delhi back then
.
And..
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
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).
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I did not go back to my home.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I vividly remember that evening.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Dropped them
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Keep your ego aside.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
All the best!
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
The batch sizes were huge!
Found an empty bench..
