Anyway!
Cleared multiple of them
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Eum sit ipsam ut animi distinctio rerum omnis praesentium.
Searched for my roll number.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Why is Eric Clapton so roundly disliked among guitarists?
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I did not go back to my home.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
What is the degree of influence of Saudi Wahhabism on the modern Muslim world?
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
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.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for 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).”
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
And..
Nemo harum distinctio cupiditate soluta nesciunt beatae harum.
Your credentials do not matter!
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

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

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Worked for a marketing agency
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

The batch sizes were huge!
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Can a Trump supporter explain what was wrong with what Bishop Budde said to Donald Trump?
“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.”
I was alone in Delhi back then
I vividly remember that evening.
Dropped them
It is almost impossible.
And, I had not made it.
I looked around me
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Found an empty bench..
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
All the best!
But, then it hit me hard.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Keep your ego aside.
“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.”
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.
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.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
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.
And entered the park.
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.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
