I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And..
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Worked for a marketing agency
Dropped them
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I vividly remember that evening.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“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).”

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Keep your ego aside.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I looked around me
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I was constantly staring into the ground

“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.”
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.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

But, then it hit me hard.
The batch sizes were huge!

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I did not go back to my home.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And, I had not made it.
Anyway!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
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.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

Cleared multiple of them
“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.”
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
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).
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…
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
All achievers in their own way.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Searched for my roll number.
It is almost impossible.
