But, then it hit me hard.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Cleared multiple of them
What do you think of Tesla's Model Y coming in ninth among electric cars sales in Europe?
Keep your ego aside.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
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.

“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.”
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
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, I had not made it.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I vividly remember that evening.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

It lasted approximately 10 months.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
If you caught a shoplifter at your yard sale, how would you handle it?
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I looked around me
When was the first time you suck on a penis?
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
“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).”

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

“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.”
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
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.
Has your wife made you a cuckold?
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
.
All the best!
And entered the park.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Dropped them
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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).
Anyway!
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
The batch sizes were huge!
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I did not go back to my home.
It is almost impossible.
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…
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Searched for my roll number.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
