Anyway!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

“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.”
“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).”
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Why is Meghan Markle struggling with her Hollywood connections?
All achievers in their own way.
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 determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
It is almost impossible.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Found an empty bench..
Are there any industries or sectors where ChatGPT is particularly well-suited for implementation?
Cleared multiple of them
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Worked for a marketing agency
I was alone in Delhi back then
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Searched for my roll number.
The batch sizes were huge!
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Keep your ego aside.
And entered the park.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I vividly remember that evening.
And..
What is the Rejuran skin booster for?
Dropped them
I looked around me
I did not go back to my home.
“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.”
Your credentials do not matter!
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
.
But, then it hit me hard.
All the best!
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
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.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
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.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I was constantly staring into the ground
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
And, I had not made it.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
