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.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

“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).”
But, then it hit me hard.
Your credentials do not matter!

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
All achievers in their own way.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
It is almost impossible.
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 did not go back to my home.
And entered the park.
The batch sizes were huge!
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…
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 was constantly staring into the ground
Keep your ego aside.
Cleared multiple of them
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
And, I had not made it.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
And..
I vividly remember that evening.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Anyway!

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
