“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
What happens psychologically to a man the first time he gets penetrated anally?
“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).”
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

I vividly remember that evening.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Cleared multiple of them
And entered the park.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Do people really have sex with animals?
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
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.
Searched for my roll number.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
How can one learn to talk frankly?
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
What are some photos of masturbation?
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
When a narcissist mad at their new supply, do they take it out on the old supply?
Anyway!
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.
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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
All the best!
But, then it hit me hard.
And, I had not made it.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Keep your ego aside.
.
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.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Dropped them
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I looked around me
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I was alone in Delhi back then
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Worked for a marketing agency
All achievers in their own way.
The batch sizes were huge!
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Found an empty bench..
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.
And..
It is almost impossible.
“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.”
I did not go back to my home.
Your credentials do not matter!
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
“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.”
