I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Why do you think Democrat favorability ratings are so low?
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

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

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Your credentials do not matter!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
What's a memory from your childhood that shaped who you are today?
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
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.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And entered the park.
Does Trump have a deal or not with Russia on Ukraine, or is Putin just playing him?
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
All achievers in their own way.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
What are the latest developments in the tech industry?
“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.”
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?
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…
Found an empty bench..
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I was alone in Delhi back then
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

Dropped them
The batch sizes were huge!
But, then it hit me hard.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Worked for a marketing agency
And..
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
It lasted approximately 10 months.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
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.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Searched for my roll number.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“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.”
“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 sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was constantly staring into the ground
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Keep your ego aside.
I vividly remember that evening.
I did not go back to my home.
.
All the best!
Anyway!
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).
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
And, I had not made it.
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.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I looked around me
It is almost impossible.
