I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Keep your ego aside.
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.
Do all you people that took the "jab" feel lied to yet?
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Worked for a marketing agency
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Found an empty bench..
Cleared multiple of them
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I vividly remember that evening.
As a guy, how do you know you if you are considered attractive?
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
“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).”
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Is the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting a preview of what the US is going to do to Taiwan?
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

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.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

Do women wear undies under leggings?
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Searched for my roll number.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Why do people procrastinate and how can they stop?
Dropped them
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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
“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.”

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…

It is almost impossible.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
The batch sizes were huge!
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I was alone in Delhi back then
But, then it hit me hard.
I looked around me
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I did not go back to my home.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
All achievers in their own way.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And..
Anyway!
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
And, I had not made it.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I was constantly staring into the ground
