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

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

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

Do married men know when their wives are having affairs?

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

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

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Why are girls supposed to have a stereotypical "hourglass" body shape, and why if you dont have an "hourglass" body shape you get treated differently? It doesnt make any sense to me.

“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).”

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

The batch sizes were huge!

What are the pros and cons of banning homosexuality?

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

“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.”

It lasted approximately 10 months.

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

How do so-called Religious/Christian people really think homosexuality is even a sin? That would be nonsense. In fact, LGBT people need love instead of contempt/hatred. The word Homosexual didn't appear until the 1850s.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

All the best!

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

If a guy is attracting a bunch of what he believes to be "ugly" women, is he crushing the dating game?

.

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.

What made you stop being an addict?

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).

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

“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.”

I looked around me

But, then it hit me hard.

I was constantly staring into the ground

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

Your credentials do not matter!

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

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

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

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

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

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.

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

All achievers in their own way.

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…

Searched for my roll number.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Dropped them

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

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 did not go back to my home.

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

Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

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

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

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

And..

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

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

Found an empty bench..

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

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

I was alone in Delhi back then

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
