Cleared multiple of them
Found an empty bench..
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
How rough can the ferry passage from Hull to Rotterdam be in the autumn ( at the end of October )?
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I looked around me
Final Fantasy 16 runs at 720p on Xbox Series X in performance mode - Video Games Chronicle
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
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.
What are some current trends in sci-fi and fantasy literature?
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Searched for my roll number.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Why do girls not like some guys at the university?
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I vividly remember that evening.
Why would a spouse cheat if the marriage is good?
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…
.
“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.”
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
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).
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I was alone in Delhi back then
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Anyway!
Why do narcissist move on so easily?
“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).”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Why is there no great temptress figure in any of Tolkien’s major works?
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And..
.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I was constantly staring into the ground
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
And, I had not made it.
But, then it hit me hard.
Keep your ego aside.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
The batch sizes were huge!
Worked for a marketing agency
And entered the park.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
Dropped them
“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.”
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.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
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.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
All achievers in their own way.
It is almost impossible.
All the best!
I did not go back to my home.
Your credentials do not matter!
