A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I vividly remember that evening.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

Cleared multiple of them
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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”

I did not go back to my home.
And..
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
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, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
All the best!

Anyway!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
But, then it hit me hard.
Nam eos consequatur amet quis qui dolorem optio.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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 was constantly staring into the ground
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Worked for a marketing agency
And entered the park.
“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.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
The batch sizes were huge!
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Your credentials do not matter!
“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.”
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Dropped them
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I was alone in Delhi back then
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…
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
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.”
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Keep your ego aside.
“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).”
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).
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
