I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

Anyway!

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

Searched for my roll number.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

If there is an abandoned house with no owner, can I live in it?

“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).”

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

And entered the park.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

Are you happy with your life?

All the best!

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I was alone in Delhi back then

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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).

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

Your credentials do not matter!

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

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

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

Cleared multiple of them

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

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…

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

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 case you are wondering, how did my story end?

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

I did not go back to my home.

“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.”

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.

But, then it hit me hard.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

And..

I looked around me

“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.”

And, I had not made it.

The batch sizes were huge!

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

It is almost impossible.

Dropped them

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

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.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

All achievers in their own way.
