“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I was alone in Delhi back then

“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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
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).
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Why do men think I’m easy just by looking at me?
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Dropped them
The batch sizes were huge!
Is there a way to remove tar from my lungs?
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
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.
Anyway!
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I looked around 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).”
Searched for my roll number.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
What is the best time for conception?
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I was constantly staring into the ground

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Found an empty bench..
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.
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…
And entered the park.
Cleared multiple of them

Keep your ego aside.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
But, then it hit me hard.
All achievers in their own way.
“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, I had not made it.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
And..
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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.
I did not go back to my home.
All the best!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
