Cleared multiple of them
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Why do I sweat between my legs all the time, top off my legs, all way down?
All achievers in their own way.
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.
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…

“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).”
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, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

Worked for a marketing agency
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?
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!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I was constantly staring into the ground
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
What did your best friend do that ended your friendship?
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Found an empty bench..
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

“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.”
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
What historical event or person have you surprised hasn't been made into a Hollywood movie yet?
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.
Searched for my roll number.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
What do people aim for when they meditate, and how do they do it properly?
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I did not go back to my home.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
What does "feeling like your life is over" mean and why is it not in any dictionary online?
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
It is almost impossible.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

Your credentials do not matter!
And, I had not made it.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I vividly remember that evening.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
But, then it hit me hard.
The batch sizes were huge!
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Keep your ego aside.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
And..
I looked around me
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
And entered the park.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
“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.”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I was alone in Delhi back then
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Dropped them
Anyway!
