All achievers in their own way.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

“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!
And entered the park.
When was the first time your wife had beastiality?
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Sint temporibus laudantium dolore id ea aliquam.
But, then it hit me hard.
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.
Searched for my roll number.
How do you weigh in on the Vance-couch conversation?
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Keep your ego aside.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Why are white women so overly emotional?
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

I did not go back to my home.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Anyway!

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I vividly remember that evening.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Why are daughters mean to their mothers?
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
“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).”
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
It is almost impossible.
.
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…
Your credentials do not matter!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
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).
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Found an empty bench..
“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.”
And, I had not made it.
And..
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
All the best!
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I was constantly staring into the ground
.
I was alone in Delhi back then
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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.
Cleared multiple of them
Worked for a marketing agency
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
