“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).”
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

All the best!
Found an empty bench..
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Searched for my roll number.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
And, I had not made it.

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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
But, then it hit me hard.
I did not go back to my home.
Cleared multiple of them
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
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.
Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen to me?
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I was alone in Delhi back then

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
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.

Your credentials do not matter!
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

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…
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.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Keep your ego aside.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
“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
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I vividly remember that evening.
Dropped them
It lasted approximately 10 months.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Anyway!
“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.”
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And entered the park.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
It is almost impossible.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
The batch sizes were huge!
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
