Anyway!
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I looked around me
Worked for a marketing agency
Pocket is shutting down, so I switched to a self-hosted alternative - Android Authority
Found an empty bench..
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I did not go back to my home.
Why did Obito, a supposed "bad person," do good things for Kakashi?
Searched for my roll number.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I vividly remember that evening.
Do older women know what they want?
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
Your credentials do not matter!
“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).”

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I was constantly staring into the ground
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Why are so many young teenage boys misogynistic? Where do they get these attitudes from?
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.
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.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
When do you start "growing old"?
And entered the park.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
The batch sizes were huge!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
How do you handle your mother-in-law after you heard her talking badly about you in the next room?
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
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).
Keep your ego aside.

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
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.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
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.

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
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…
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
And..
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
All achievers in their own way.
Cleared multiple of them
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Dropped them
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
“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.”
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And, I had not made it.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
But, then it hit me hard.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
It is almost impossible.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
“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 was alone in Delhi back then
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
All the best!
