I vividly remember that evening.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Searched for my roll number.
What was Easter day like for you as a child?
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

I did not go back to my home.

Found an empty bench..
Why after 50 years of being straight do I constantly desire to suck cock?
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Your credentials do not matter!

The batch sizes were huge!

And entered the park.

And..
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Why do so many people like life?
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 is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
It is almost impossible.
Who is/was the genuinely toughest actor in Hollywood movies?
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Do you believe that it is right that one Federal judge can block a President's decisions?
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
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.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
But, then it hit me hard.
“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.
“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.”
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
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…
Dropped them
I was alone in Delhi back then
“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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Cleared multiple of them
All the best!
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
“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).”
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Anyway!
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on 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).
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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.
And, I had not made it.
I looked around me
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
All achievers in their own way.
I was constantly staring into the ground
