It is almost impossible.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
If Trump were to lose in 2024, would that be the end of his grip on the Republican Party?
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
But, then it hit me hard.
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, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
“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).
Do you consider yourself pretty?
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
My friend asked my crush and he said my crush hates me but not in a rude way. What does that mean?
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
And, I had not made it.

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Anyway!
I was constantly staring into the ground
What should I expect after a BBL surgery?
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
“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.”
Keep your ego aside.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
All achievers in their own way.

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.
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.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Searched for my roll number.
I did not go back to my home.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I was alone in Delhi back then
“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.”
The batch sizes were huge!
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Your credentials do not matter!
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I looked around me
And..
I vividly remember that evening.
Dropped them
All the best!
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 is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
