All the best!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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 ..

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
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.”
Cleared multiple of them
“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.”

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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I vividly remember that evening.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I did not go back to my home.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

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…
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.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

Who is the most trusted person in your life, and do they have the same trust on you?
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
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.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
It is almost impossible.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Why are some people afraid of monsters?
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
“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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

I was constantly staring into the ground
Found an empty bench..
“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 -
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Anyway!
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Searched for my roll number.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I looked around me
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And entered the park.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
The batch sizes were huge!
And, I had not made it.
But, then it hit me hard.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
All achievers in their own way.
I was alone in Delhi back then
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
