I did not go back to my home.
.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

It is almost impossible.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
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.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Why is social media so anti-fee speech, and have they become total BS?
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…
I was constantly staring into the ground
And, I had not made it.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Anyway!
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Keep your ego aside.
Is the Be10x AI workshop worth enough?
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

Dropped them

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I looked around me

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.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
And entered the park.
All achievers in their own way.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

Your credentials do not matter!
But, then it hit me hard.
Searched for my roll number.
How did it feel when experiencing gay sex for the first?
I vividly remember that evening.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Who would win, an F-22 Raptor or Tie Defender?
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
“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.”
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
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Found an empty bench..
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
The batch sizes were huge!
It lasted approximately 10 months.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
“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 joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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 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.”
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
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.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
And..
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
All the best!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I was alone in Delhi back then
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
