Your credentials do not matter!
Anyway!
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

But, then it hit me hard.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I vividly remember that evening.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
And entered the park.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

It is almost impossible.
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 parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
How do you know how physically attractive you actually are?
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

“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).”
All the best!

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.
And, I had not made it.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Cleared multiple of them
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Found an empty bench..
Keep your ego aside.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
“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.”
Worked for a marketing agency
Searched for my roll number.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
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 looked around me
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I did not go back to my home.
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.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
The batch sizes were huge!
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
“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.”
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And..
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.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
