I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
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…
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
How can we get rid of viral fever naturaly?
Searched for my roll number.
“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.”

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

Why do liberals think it is okay to steal votes while the rest of us obey the law(s)?
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
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 did not go back to my home.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
And entered the park.
“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.”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

“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.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Can I know a love story of a medical student?
Found an empty bench..
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I was alone in Delhi back then
What made you stop being an addict?
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
But, then it hit me hard.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.

Your credentials do not matter!
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

All achievers in their own way.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
And, I had not made it.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
Anyway!
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
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.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I looked around me
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
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.
The batch sizes were huge!
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
And..
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I was constantly staring into the ground
All the best!
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
