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.
Searched for my roll number.
Worked for a marketing agency
Are fanservice-y characters (i.e. Lara Croft, Tifa Lockhart) immediately bad?
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
“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.”
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
The batch sizes were huge!
Summer McIntosh Swims 3:54.18 To Shatter 400 Freestyle World Record By 1.2 Seconds - SwimSwam
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Anyway!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I was constantly staring into the ground

“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 vividly remember that evening.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
But, then it hit me hard.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
.
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).
Why is the band Nickelback unliked so much?
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

It is almost impossible.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Where can I get sure fixed matches on Instagram?
And, I had not made it.
All the best!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
.
I looked around me
Dropped them
I did not go back to my home.
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.
Keep your ego aside.
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.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
And..
I was alone in Delhi back then
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Your credentials do not matter!
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
“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.
Found an empty bench..
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Cleared multiple of them
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
All achievers in their own way.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And entered the park.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
“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.
