All achievers in their own way.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
“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).”

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.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
“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.”
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.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

How far back into your childhood can your remember and what is your favorite memory of that time?
It lasted approximately 10 months.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
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 is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
I was constantly staring into the ground
What are you struggling with in your life? What would you like to have instead?
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
But, then it hit me hard.

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

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.
It is almost impossible.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I did not go back to my home.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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 hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
All the best!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
“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 batch sizes were huge!
Anyway!
I vividly remember that evening.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
And, I had not made it.
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 prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
.
And entered the park.
Cleared multiple of them
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
