If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Dropped them
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Cleared multiple of them
And, I had not made it.
And entered the park.
Keep your ego aside.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
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…

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
“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.”
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Anyway!
Has anyone been spanked by their parents after becoming an adult?
“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.”
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I was constantly staring into the ground
It is almost impossible.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
All achievers in their own way.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Searched for my roll number.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
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).
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.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
But, then it hit me hard.
Worked for a marketing agency
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“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).”
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I was alone in Delhi back then
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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.
The batch sizes were huge!
I looked around me
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
