After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
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.

Found an empty bench..
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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.
I did not go back to my home.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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.
It is almost impossible.

But, then it hit me hard.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Are there any guys, crossdressers, or transgender girls here who wear tampons?
I looked around me
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
What are some of the most annoying movie clichés?
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

I was constantly staring into the ground
And entered the park.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Has anyone ever worn leather pants? Are they comfortable?
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Keep your ego aside.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Newspaper headlines: Britain 'battle ready' and 'new Maddie search' - BBC
I vividly remember that evening.
“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.”
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Aut explicabo sapiente quis consequuntur fuga consectetur fugit.
All the best!
Searched for my roll number.
The batch sizes were huge!

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Who would win in this boxing matchup between these two, Dillian Whyte or Samuel Peter?
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…
Cleared multiple of them
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
“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 was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Anyway!
“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.”
Your credentials do not matter!
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And, I had not made it.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Dropped them
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
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 was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
All achievers in their own way.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Worked for a marketing agency
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I was alone in Delhi back then
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
