In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
It is almost impossible.
.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Do guys ever want to suck a dick even though they are straight?
I looked around me
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.
All achievers in their own way.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
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).
The batch sizes were huge!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Dropped them
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
It lasted approximately 10 months.

“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).”
Anyway!

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.

How or where can I get any kind of books online for free?
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
But, then it hit me hard.
What is your juiciest sex story?
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

I did not go back to my home.
Found an empty bench..
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I was constantly staring into the ground
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
In your humble opinion, why does the narcissist mistake kindness for weakness in some people?
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.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
“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.”
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over 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…

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
All the best!
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Your credentials do not matter!
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I vividly remember that evening.
And, I had not made it.
.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
“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.”
And..
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Searched for my roll number.
Keep your ego aside.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
And entered the park.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
