Your credentials do not matter!
And..
And, I had not made it.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
“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.”

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I did not go back to my home.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
What was the worst spanking you ever got? Why did you get it, and how was it given to you?
I looked around me
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

Is Andrew Tate losing popularity?
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I vividly remember that evening.

Cleared multiple of them
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
“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 write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
What are the pros and cons of arranged marriages?
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
“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.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

It is almost impossible.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
And entered the park.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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…
Found an empty bench..
Searched for my roll number.
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).
“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 -
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
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.
The batch sizes were huge!
All achievers in their own way.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Dropped them
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Keep your ego aside.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Anyway!
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
All the best!
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
But, then it hit me hard.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
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.
Worked for a marketing agency
I was constantly staring into the ground
