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

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I vividly remember that evening.
And entered the park.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Why do women have sex with dogs?
I looked around me
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Found an empty bench..

Searched for my roll number.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Anyway!
And, I had not made it.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I did not go back to my home.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Why are women attracted to ugly guys?
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
What is it like to have an insanely beautiful girlfriend?
I was alone in Delhi back then
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for 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…
All achievers in their own way.
Keep your ego aside.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
“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.”
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Your credentials do not matter!
Why do subpar women think that they are nines and tens?
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
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 constantly staring into the ground

But, then it hit me hard.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

“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.”
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

“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.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Dropped them
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
The batch sizes were huge!
It is almost impossible.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Cleared multiple of them
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And..
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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.
