2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

I vividly remember that evening.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

It is almost impossible.

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.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I looked around me

I said, “Yes! I believe 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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

What great song was "ruined" once you really listened to the lyrics?

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

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

Dropped them

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And entered the park.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

“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.”

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

Keep your ego aside.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

And, I had not made it.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

I was constantly staring into the ground

Anyway!

“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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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).

But, then it hit me hard.

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…

Found an empty bench..

The batch sizes were huge!

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

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.
