If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
It is almost impossible.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
How are max different from medical and minimum security prisons?
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Anyway!
Dropped them
Molestiae quas aut aut quisquam eum aut.
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.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
“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).”
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
It lasted approximately 10 months.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
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.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
“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.”
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Found an empty bench..
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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 had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I always feel very tired after I do some exercises, even after a night's sleep. What's the problem?
All achievers in their own way.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

I looked around me
“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.”
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.
Why did McLaren hope that the Ferrari pair would pit twice during the Italian Grand Prix?
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
Your credentials do not matter!
Worked for a marketing agency
And entered the park.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Cleared multiple of them
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
But, then it hit me hard.
Keep your ego aside.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
All the best!
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..
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
And, I had not made it.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
The batch sizes were huge!
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Searched for my roll number.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I did not go back to my home.
