In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
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 write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Anyway!

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
And entered the park.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Dropped them
I vividly remember that evening.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
This decades-old Gmail trick is still my favorite email management hack - Android Police
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
The batch sizes were huge!
Found an empty bench..

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
But, then it hit me hard.

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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
“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.”
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).

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
All the best!
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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.
Keep your ego aside.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Searched for my roll number.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I was constantly staring into the ground
It is almost impossible.
Cleared multiple of them
I looked around me
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
All achievers in their own way.
“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.”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
“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).”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Your credentials do not matter!
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I did not go back to my home.
Worked for a marketing agency
