There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
All the best!
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I did not go back to my home.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

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 remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Found an empty bench..
“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, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
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 was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

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.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

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 write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I looked around me
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Anyway!
I was alone in Delhi back then
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Dropped them
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Your credentials do not matter!
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
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).
I vividly remember that evening.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I was constantly staring into the ground
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
But, then it hit me hard.
Keep your ego aside.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Searched for my roll number.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
All achievers in their own way.
And, I had not made it.
.
And..
The batch sizes were huge!
“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).”
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
“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.”
It is almost impossible.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
Worked for a marketing agency
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
