Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
The batch sizes were huge!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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).
Searched for my roll number.
It is almost impossible.

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

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.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
What is the best comeback you used on someone?
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I vividly remember that evening.
I did not go back to my home.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Found an empty bench..
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“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..
All the best!
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
“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).”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
All achievers in their own way.
But, then it hit me hard.
I was constantly staring into the ground
“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 cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And entered the park.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Keep your ego aside.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
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, I had not made it.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Worked for a marketing agency

I looked around me
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
“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.”
Dropped them
