After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Anyway!

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

Your credentials do not matter!
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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
And, I had not made it.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

I did not go back to my home.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
All achievers in their own way.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
“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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
It is almost impossible.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Cleared multiple of them
Searched for my roll number.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
But, then it hit me hard.
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 the best!
“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.”
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I vividly remember that evening.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And entered the park.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I looked around me
“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.”
Worked for a marketing agency
Keep your ego aside.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
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.
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.
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.
I was constantly staring into the ground
The batch sizes were huge!
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was alone in Delhi back then
