If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

“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 was alone in Delhi back then
Searched for my roll number.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
How can someone feel more FTM when AMAB?
“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.”
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
All achievers in their own way.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Anyway!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
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.
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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Was Jimmy Carter a good President of the United States?
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I looked around me
It is almost impossible.
“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).”
All the best!
I vividly remember that evening.
And..
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Your credentials do not matter!
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I did not go back to my home.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
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.
Keep your ego aside.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Found an empty bench..
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
And entered the park.
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).
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
The batch sizes were huge!
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
And, I had not made it.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
But, then it hit me hard.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
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…

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
