This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Your credentials do not matter!
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
What do you think of Obito Uchiha?
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
And..
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Found an empty bench..
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

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…
Searched for my roll number.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

It lasted approximately 10 months.
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.
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!
And, I had not made it.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Keep your ego aside.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for 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.”
Why do women consider 80% of men as unattractive?
And entered the park.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Aut consectetur debitis ullam.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

It is almost impossible.
“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).”
Worked for a marketing agency
“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.”
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
The batch sizes were huge!
I vividly remember that evening.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Anyway!
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I looked around me
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
But, then it hit me hard.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
I did not go back to my home.
.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
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)
Cleared multiple of them
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
“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.
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).
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
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 was constantly staring into the ground
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
