All achievers in their own way.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
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…
And entered the park.

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

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.

Your credentials do not matter!
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I looked around me
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
How does Arab culture and values differ from western culture and values?
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Anyway!
Is it harder to become a professor nowadays? If yes, why?
Dropped them
All the best!
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Pharmacy group withholds endorsing CDC's latest vaccine recommendations - AOL.com
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).
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
“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.”
If babies could write, what questions would they ask on Quora?
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

I was constantly staring into the ground
And, I had not made it.
And..
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
How do you choose sunscreen for oily skin?
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Have you ever accidentally found out that you were about to be fired?
I did not go back to my home.
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 write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
But, then it hit me hard.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Found an empty bench..
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
It is almost impossible.
Worked for a marketing agency
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
The batch sizes were huge!
“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.”
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Cleared multiple of them
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Keep your ego aside.
“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 alone in Delhi back then
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Searched for my roll number.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I vividly remember that evening.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
