Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I vividly remember that evening.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And..

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
The batch sizes were huge!
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
And, I had not made it.
Anyway!

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Why is Elvis Presley so controversial? Why do so many people love him and others despise him?
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
All achievers in their own way.

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…
I did not go back to my home.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Keep your ego aside.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Your credentials do not matter!

.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
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).
“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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
“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.
And entered the park.
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.
All the best!
But, then it hit me hard.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
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.
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.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I looked around me
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
It is almost impossible.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Dropped them
.
Found an empty bench..
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Searched for my roll number.
“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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
