In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And..
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Anyway!
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Can people who have never met you tell if you are a covert narcissist?
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
The batch sizes were huge!
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

Your credentials do not matter!
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
“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).”

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
“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, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
“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.”
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

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 have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I was alone in Delhi back then
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.
Cleared multiple of them

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I vividly remember that evening.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
And, I had not made it.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
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 was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
But, then it hit me hard.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Worked for a marketing agency
I did not go back to my home.
I looked around me
All the best!
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
All achievers in their own way.
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 crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
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.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And entered the park.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
