I did not go back to my home.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Your credentials do not matter!
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
It is almost impossible.
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.
Worked for a marketing agency
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Keep your ego aside.
And..
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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…
Do older men realize that younger women usually do not prefer them?
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

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.
All achievers in their own way.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
“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.”
.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Anyway!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Why do some women squirt and some don't?
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
How does the brain decide "what" thought to attach to a feeling?
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I vividly remember that evening.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
All the best!
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
But, then it hit me hard.
I looked around me
“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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Dropped them
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And, I had not made it.
Searched for my roll number.
Found an empty bench..
“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.”
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
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.
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).
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
And entered the park.
The batch sizes were huge!
Cleared multiple of them
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
