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.
Worked for a marketing agency
The batch sizes were huge!

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
“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.”
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
What is the most interesting question you can ask to get to know someone?
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Anyway!
And entered the park.
---what are the things which shouldnt be glorified but they are ---
Found an empty bench..
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Searched for my roll number.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
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.
“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 said, “Yes! I believe so.”
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
How do I write a book and sell it?
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

All the best!

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
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).”
What kind of book did you write after turning 55?
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Dropped them
All achievers in their own way.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
The World's Largest Organism Is Slowly Being Eaten - ScienceAlert
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 lacked a mentor when I needed one.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
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.
Keep your ego aside.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Cleared multiple of them
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
But, then it hit me hard.
I looked around me
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And..
And, I had not made it.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I was constantly staring into the ground
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I vividly remember that evening.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
This exam has its own way of humbling 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…
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I did not go back to my home.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
